    The Federalists were Pro-British (they supported the Jay Treaty which brought continuity of trade between Britain and America fostering interdependence) John Adams went against his party's orders, by trying to avoid war with France. The Federalists wanted war because it would increase military power showing the people that increasing military power was a necessity in order to protect the new nation from tyrants. The Federalists saw it as an opportunity to turn US citizens against France.
