Federalists supported the Industrial Revolution, modernization, technological advance, infrastructure investment, modern banking, a standing army, a national education system, and saw cities as the engines of the economy. Tended to be more technocratic/elitist.
(more likely to be Sci-Fi fans)

Democratic-Republicans supported a non-urban, mostly technologically-stagnant system of plantations and pastures, and idealized self-sustaining farmers and plantation owners. And were largely willing to accept slavery as a natural consequence of this system. Tended to be more populist.

I voted Federalist (believe in a more centralized government), but they definitely overreached with the Alien/Sedition Acts, and I do like the populist democracy of the D-R's (if you get rid of the slavery and white/male-only populism). The D-R ideal of decentralized, self-sustaining estates is ideal... but unrealistic, in this time and ours, because of industrialization.
