Answer 2

The Federalist Era was a period in American history from roughly 1789-1801 when the Federalist Party was dominant in American politics. This period saw the adoption of the United States Constitution and the expansion of the federal government. In addition, the era saw the growth of a strong nationalistic government under the control of the Federalist Party. Among the most important events of this period were the foreign entanglements between France and Great Britain, the assertion of a strong centralized federal government, and creation of political parties. The First Party System of the United States featured the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party (Anti-Federalist). - https://www.boundless.com/political-science/interest-groups/history-of-political-parties/the-first-political-parties-federalists-and-anti-federalists/

Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President (1861–1865)
Founded in the Northern states in 1854 by anti-slavery activists, modernizers, ex-Whigs, and ex-Free Soilers, the Republican Party quickly became the principal opposition to the dominant Southern Democratic Party and the briefly popular Know Nothing Party. The main cause was opposition to the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which repealed the Missouri Compromise by which slavery was kept out of Kansas. The Northern Republicans saw the expansion of slavery as a great evil. The first public meeting where the name "Republican" was suggested for a new anti-slavery party was held on March 20, 1854 in a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin.[11] - wiki

Knowing this... I think it is safe to say that the the Republican Party grew out of the Anti Federalist Party. You are correct! :)
