9.2 : Nationalism and Sectionalism The Big Idea A rising sense of national unity allowed some regional differences (Sectionalism) to be set aside and national interests to be served

Main Ideas Growing nationalism led to improvements in the nation’s transportation systems - interconnectedness The Missouri Compromise settled an important regional conflict - slavery The outcome of the election of 1824 led to controversy – populous vs electoral votes

Growing Nationalism Nationalism - a belief, creed or political ideology that involves an individual identifying with, or becoming attached to, one's nation feelings of pride and loyalty to a nation Henry Clay and the American System: Series of measures to make US economically self-sufficient National bank to provide a single currency; improved roads & canals funded by a protective tariff Some in Congress felt such improvements were not permitted by the Constitution Clay argued that possible gains for the country justified federal action - Congress agreed with Clay

Henry Clay Served as a U.S. representative from Kentucky, Senator, Speaker of the House, and Secretary of State Supported Nationalism – literally caught in the middle of north & south Developed American System Dedicated to preserving the Union Initiated the Missouri Compromise

Roads and Canals ROADS Cumberland Road was first federally built road – country’s oldest official road Begun in Maryland in 1815, stretched to Illinois by 1850

Roads and Canals CANALS Americans tried to make water transportation easier by building canals Erie Canal - from Albany to Buffalo in New York, allowing goods/people to move b/t East Coast and towns on Lake Erie Success of Erie Canal provided incentive for future canal building

3 EFFECTS OF ROADS AND CANALS ON THE U.S. EASIER TO TRANSPORT/TRADE GOODS EASIER TO TRAVEL/CUTS DOWN AMOUNT OF TIME LOWER COSTS TO SHIP/MORE PROFITS ($100 VS. $10)

The Era of Good Feelings Time of PEACE, PRIDE, PROGRESS/PROSPERITY 1815–1825 National unity strengthened by two Supreme Court decisions that reinforced power of FEDERAL GOVT.

The Era of Good Feelings McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) Asserted implied powers of Congress, allowing for creation of national bank

The Era of Good Feelings Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) States could not interfere with power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce (trade)

The Missouri Compromise Sectionalism Disagreements between different regions, idea that threatened the Union Missouri applied to enter Union as slave state This would change balance between free & slave states – PREVIOUSLY 11 EACH Initial compromise rejected – enter as slave state but no importing slaves & all kids of slaves are free

The Missouri Compromise 1820 Henry Clay - Missouri Compromise Missouri entered as slave state Maine would join Union as a free state, preserving balance between free and slave states Slavery would be prohibited in any new states or territories north of 36°30’ Disagreements between the North and South over slavery continued….stay tuned

The Election of 1824 Andrew Jackson - Battle of New Orleans, Seminole Wars, wins popular vote but not electoral votes House of Representatives required by Constitution to choose the winner they chose John Quincy Adams Jackson’s supporters claimed Adams made “corrupt bargain” with Henry Clay Accusations grew after Clay was made secretary of state Controversy weakened Adams’s support
