Settlement of the Trans-Mississippi Congress quickly admitted 5 new states to the Union: Louisiana (1812) Indiana (1816) Mississippi (1817) Illinois (1818) Alabama (1819) After the War of 1812, Americans flooded into the West; By 1840 over 1 / 3 of the population lived in the West This economic & territorial growth created a need to settle America’s national boundaries
20
Foreign Policy 3) Expanding U.S. borders & increasing America’s role in world affairs

American Nationalism President Monroe & his Secretary of State John Quincy Adams used foreign policy to promote nationalism & territorial expansion In 1818, Monroe & British leaders agreed to establish the US/Canada border set at the 49º Adams-Onis Treaty In 1819 the USA gained Florida from Spain with the Adams-Onis Treaty

23
Monroe Doctrine Monroe Doctrine (1823) ■warned European nations that the USA would protect the Western Hemisphere & that the U.S. would not interfere in Europe
25
Sectionalism ■The Era of Good Feelings was a time of nationalism, but there were problems between North & South –Sectionalism –Sectionalism—when regional interests are placed above national interests
26
Northerners & Southerners disagreed over –slavery, –national taxes, & –the role of national gov’t –These disagreements dominated politics from 1820 to 1860
27
■When Missouri applied to become a U.S. state, sectionalism emerged –Missouri wanted to become a slave state, like the South –Northerners did not want to see Southern slave states increase their power in the national gov’t –If Missouri entered as a slave state, the South would have 2 more Senators than the North
28
Missouri Compromise Because of the 3/5 Compromise, the South had more members of the House of Representatives President Monroe was from Virginia, so the South controlled the presidency too
