Answer:
George Washington and the Federalist Party supported Great Britain when it declared war on France.
Explanation:
From 1793 to 1815, covering most of the period in which the Federalist Party existed, France and the United Kingdom were protagonists of serious conflicts: the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. These conflicts continually threatened America, and the two main political parties of the time distinguished themselves in their attitude from their protagonists: Federalists admired and favored the United Kingdom, and Democratic Republicans opposed the British monarchy and supported republican France (until the inauguration of Napoleon as emperor in 1804). After 1804 Republicans continued to oppose the United Kingdom but were more hostile to France because of Napoleon's rejection of republicanism.
