The correct answer is B: They were mocked as defeatists and traitors.

With the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 and the end of the War of 1812, many Americans viewed the Federalists as traitors. The Federalist Party collapsed, leaving the Democratic-Republican Party as the only political party in the USA until the mid - 1820s.
