    The French and Indian War (1754-1763) took place in a very daunting period of American history, when there was a lot of tension between the colonists and the British who lived in England. This eventually led to the American Revolution. At the time, the English, the French, and the Spanish all had control over some parts of North America. The war was mainly a struggle over which nation, France or Britain, would have control of the Ohio River Valley, although there were native groups that allied themselves with one side or the other. It began with the Battle of Fort Duquesne and was considered the first world war, or the Seven Years’ War in Europe.

Therefore the idea of the “Era of Good Feelings” only actually applies to the growth of intense nationalism and not the political, social, and economic aspects from 1815 to 1825. Nationalism, which emphasizes the pride a person has for their nation, supported the label “Era of Good Feelings” but sectionalism showed differences in regions and therefore contradicted the label.…
