Map: Federalist and Antifederalist Strongholds, 1787-1790
Federalist and Antifederalist Strongholds, 1787-1790Federalists drew their primary backing from densely populated areas along major transportation routes, where trade, mobility, and frequent contact with people in other states encouraged a nationalistic identity. Antifederalist support came from interior regions where geographic isolation bred a localistic perspective. However, some westerners, especially in Georgia and western Virginia, voted for a strong central government that would push back the Indians or the Spanish . Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.
