The period between 1815 and 1825 was inaccurately dubbed the “Era of Good Feelings.” Despite the relatively low political opposition and boom of westward expansion and economy, bigger problems such as the economic bust as well as the differing beliefs of northern and southern states threatened the strength and unity of the nation during this time. After the war of 1812, the surge of nationalistic feelings took place, but, simultaneously, there were underlying forces of sectionalism.…
In the time span of 40 years after the end of the Era of Good Feelings in 1824, the United States of America experienced economic crises regarding banks, the upcoming of popular sovereignty, and the insurrection of conflict for women’s suffrage (to no prevail). When President Lincoln was elected into office in 1860, the nation had fragmented into two: the Northern Union and the Southern Confederacy, no longer being a “united nation”. The apportioning standards between the Union and the Confederacy dealt with the issues of slavery and black citizenship, political division between Democrats and Republicans, and the unstable economy within the South due to the Reconstruction with North booming from industry and those useful interchangeable parts causing America to develop into a nation divided in two.…
The accounts of Cray Jr. and Machin provide a contrasting representation of the early 1800s. While Cray Jr. presents a powerful nationalism that swept across the United States during this time, Machin details the embodiment of greed and getting into harm’s way emerging out of the Embargo with Britain. Between these two, the more powerful influence on daily life during this time-period was the nationalism which arose from the events of the Chesapeake affair.…
In the years of 1815 through 1850 a new period called the New nationalism period was established in order to bring the nation closer together. This period of time consisted of new economic polices as well as new advancements that changed the way life was lived for all people of the United States. Among these, technological advancements and inventions such as the Cotton gin, the railroads, and the telegraph during this New Nationalist period were able to completely revolutionize society in both a positive and negative aspect.…
Thesis: Both Jacksonian economic policy and westward movement in America were indicative of the development of democracy between 1820 and 1840. It was in this antebellum era that the United States, with economic and sectional changes, made effects to comply democratic politics and make changes should the country’s founding philosophy be led astray.…

The United States and the Latin American countries have been connected geologically since frontier times, and in the late-eighteenth century, U.S. vendors started exchanging with Spain's New World settlements. Amid this period, Latin American progressives looked to the United States more and more as a political model, an effective case of a settlement diverting from the burden of the European power and building up a republic. In spite of solid weights from some U.S. pioneers, for example, Henry Clay, who bolstered the Latin American insurgencies, numerous Americans looked southward with dread, frightful of annoying the Spanish, from whom they needed Florida. By the by, with some U.S. support, the majority of the Latin American republics won…
Shortly after the War of 1812 had ended under Madison’s reign, America had come to a period popularly known as the “Era of Good Feelings.” The Americans had just come out of a great battle, emerging victorious, thus proving themselves to be a competent world power. However, although the time period after the War of 1812 was dubbed the “Era of Good Feelings,” growing tension due to a sudden rise of southern nationalism under John C. Calhoun, too much involvement from the government, and disagreements over slavery created such disunion that the nation descended into utter chaos. The so-called “Era of Good Feelings” was, in fact, a misnomer – not only was it not a time of good feelings, but it was actually a period of great disunion.…
The end of the War of 1812 gave birth to a new nationalism in the United States. It quickened the downfall of the Federalist Party, and ushered in "the era of good feelings". Henry Clay created the "American System" to hopefully keep the prosperity that America seemed to be experiencing.…

In the aftermath of the War of 1812, all was good and well. However, growing issues were forming between the North and South, and the West as well. Sectionalism took hold during Monroe’s presidency, separating the North, South, and West, each with different ideals and…
Latin American revolutions - Throughout the 19th century British, Spanish, French, and Portuguese colonies were fighting for their independence. As Secretary of State and later as President, John Quincy Adams dealt with how the United States would respond to these revolutions without angering European powers. The United States chose to stay out of the affairs of these Latin American countries for that very reason.…
The time period after the War of 1812, traditionally labeled the “Era of Good Feelings”, was ironically not a time of complete positivity. The idea of nationalism of America kept hope alive for independence while sectionalism kept the north and south on conflicting terms. Thus, the “Era of Good Feelings” was not completely good.…
“Revolts and independence movements…spread across the continent between 1808 and 1830. The high point of these movements was 1821, when the original core colonies of New Spain and Peru declared independence from Spain” (page 157). With independence came political parties- liberal and conservative dominated over all else. Liberals were typically educated merchants who wanted a modest federal government, expanded suffrage, a weak church, and free trade. Conservatives on the other hand were usually elites who owned land and favored a decentralized state that favored the center, limited suffrage, a strong church, and colonial trade barriers and monopolies (page 180).…
This is reflected by John Krimmel’s “Fourth of July Celebration” (Doc C), in which people are celebrating the anniversary of their nation’s independence. According to Document H “Diary of John Quincy Adams,” because the U.S. survived their second war with Britain, Adams didn’t feel that the U.S. should “take a position subordinate to that of Great Britain”; instead, it should “take a stand…to the decline of the overture of Great Britain.” Furthermore, the U.S. developed the notion that it was destined to expand across all of America (Manifest Destiny), which is later reflected in the migration of Americans into the territory of the Louisiana Purchase. Lastly, the American Industrial Revolution led to an increased demand for cotton from the south. This shows how Northern and Southern economies were thus strongly interconnected (which alludes to a unified country and a heightened sence of nationalism. Even though these immediate effects of the War of 1812 mostly demonstrated the rise of nationalism, the immediate effects gave way to the later, more enduring and influential…
