We know that in the first American party system the Federalists were pro-British (moderated by pragmatic considerations occasionally) while the Republicans were pro-French (also moderated by pragmatic considerations occasionally).
Did Britain know or care much about these partisan arguments in the USA at the time.
If Britain did feel a stake, was their attitude to American factions and regions pretty much a reciprocation of how the Americans felt about them [cheering the Federalists and booing the Republicans]?
I ask because although reciprocation is probable, when you look at the economic programs of each side Jefferson's vision would leave the Americans perpetually underdeveloped suppliers and customers, while Hamilton's vision would result in higher tariffs in the here and now, and more American industrial competition later on.
Did any Brits express the view that Jeffersonian economics would be better for British interests?
After the the Napoleonic Wars, the War of 1812, and the demise of the 1st party system, did British leaders feel they had any skin in the game causing them to prefer Whigs over Democrats (or vice versa) in the second party system or Republicans over Democrats (or vice versa) in the third party system?
