4. Essential Question:
How did American nationalism increase during the “Era of Good Feelings” under President James Monroe?

5. James Monroe was overwhelmingly elected president in 1816 and 1820
Monroe’s presidency began during an era of increased nationalism after the War of 1812 known as the “Era of Good Feelings” ( )
Continued Democratic Republican reign – beat out Federalist opponent Rufus King

6. Democratic-Republican Party
Monroe’s goals as president were to promote national unity and America’s place in the world
By 1816 the Federalists were so weak that the Democratic-Republicans could do almost anything
Monroe and the Republicans in Congress used this time to promote American nationalism

Democratic republicans are changing – used to believe in a small federal government – now we will see them use the federal power to protect their industries and political views – advocate for a federal economic policies like the national bank and tariffs on imports – this created internal tensions of the republican party

7. Government: Increase the power of the national gov’t over the states
Monroe and the Republicans in Congress promoted nationalism and American unity in three ways:
Government: Increase the power of the national gov’t over the states
John Marshall ( ) used the Supreme Court to strengthen the power of the national government
3 ways
Government, Economy, and Foreign Policy
Supreme court ruled to support federal power over state power
Led to corporations spanning across several states
Nationwide market emerging

8. Create a Second Bank of the United States
Monroe and the Republicans in Congress promoted nationalism & American unity in three ways:
Government: Increase the power of the national gov’t over the states
In 1816, Congressman Henry Clay proposed the American System to unify the economies of the North, South, and West
Economy: Encourage industry and transportation to link the South, North, and West
Create a Second Bank of the United States
How would uniting economies strengthen America?
Second Bank issues standard money – the first bank had expired (interesting to keep the bank of US since it was the Federalist Hamilton who suggested it)
Why would they put tariffs in place to limit British goods? --- self sufficient economy, less reliance on others
How does transportation play a role in society? Do we see it uniting/dividing us today? – unified nation/economy, connect the n/s/w together – overall change in technology – canals booming to make transportation cheaper and more efficient (Erie Canal, NY – connected the Hudson River to Lake Erie)
Create a tariff to encourage industry and limit British manufactured goods
Improve transportation with roads and canals

9. The American System allowed the USA to create a national market economy for the first time
Western farms grew grains
and raised livestock that fed the nation
Northern factories made manufactured goods that were sold throughout the country
What do you notice about the map? ---- North has more transportation than the south
We’ll talk about this “market revolution” more in-depth later this unit. This is just a preview in order to understand the importance of Henry Clay’s American System. The emphasis here is on the politics of the era, which should help students understand how the national government promoted a national market economy that, by the 1810s, had emerged as strong regional economies due to new technological innovations (cotton gin, interchangeable parts, Singer sewing machines, Slater mills, McCormick reaper, Deere steel plow, etc.) Again, we’ll discuss these details in the next set of notes.
Southern cotton was used in northern textiles factories

10. Kentucky Congressman Henry Clay
What aspects of this portrait reveal parts of Henry Clay’s “American System”?
Globe
American Flag
Increase trade
Increase in foreign affairs
Continue expansion

11. Congress quickly admitted 5 new states to the Union
Monroe & the Republicans in Congress promoted nationalism and American unity in three ways:
Government: Increase the power of the national gov’t over the states
Congress quickly admitted 5 new states to the Union
After the War of 1812, Americans flooded into the West; By 1840 over 1/3 of the population lived in the West
Economic and territorial growth created a need to settle America’s national borders
Economy: Encourage industry and transportation to link the South, North, and West
Indiana (1816)
Illinois (1818)
Alabama (1819)
Go back to foreign policy section top right
Then come back down to to Henry Clay’s American System section to continue notes
Foreign Policy: Expanding America’s borders and increasing America’s role in world affairs
Mississippi (1817)
Louisiana (1812)

12. In 1819 the USA gained Florida from Spain with the Adams-Onis Treaty
President Monroe and his Secretary of State John Quincy Adams used foreign policy to promote nationalism and territorial expansion
In 1818, the USA and Britain agreed to establish the Canadian border at the 49°
Convention of 1818 – Northern limit of the Louisiana purchase (Modern day Minnesota to the Rockies)—Oregon Country would be joint occupation with the British --
Adams-Onis Treaty – Florida – climax of nationalism
Andrew Jackson (same guy from 1812, we will see him more) seized Spanish forts in Pensacola and St. Marks – raided Seminoles and escaped slaves that were viewed as threats to GA (British traders still encouraged the natives to attack the Americas)– Jackson did not always follow orders…
He executed 2 British citizens on charges of helping the Indians and runaways
Monroe’s gov wasn’t on board but accepted it anyway and used to to create a diplomatic demand for control of the inhabitants of Easy FL or to cede it to the US
-- In return for ceding FL, the US recognized Spanish sovereignty over Texas
In 1819 the USA gained Florida from Spain with the Adams-Onis Treaty

13. In 1823, the Monroe Doctrine warned European nations that the USA would protect the Western Hemisphere and that the U.S. would not interfere in Europe
When SouthAmerican nations gained independence, the USA wanted to support the new republics and keep European nations from colonizing South America
J.Q. Adams wrote the doctrine, but since it is under Monroe’s presidency it stays under his name – was originally going to be a joint idea with the British but JQA took it upon himself to create it just for the US
How does this reflect Washington’s push for neutrality? Expands the idea of neutrality and staying uninvolved with Europe and then preventing Europe from getting involved with them with this.
Monroe wants to keep the Western hemisphere a democracy – doesn’t want monarchy influence – worry about Spain/French influencing or trying to put down the many revolutions occurring throughout South America for independence, also worried about Russia due to their interest and placement of some forts in Cali – but this doesn’t just have to do with democracy and politics
ECONOMY – South American countries that are seeking independence means that the whole “mercantilism” idea of the resources going through the mother country of Spain are over ---this will open up those markets to the US – partnership with Latin America
Does this Monroe Doctrine last through modern day?? – Yes and no, early intention to be a world power – controlling what happens in South America – there is not a threat for colonization in the Western Hemisphere

14. American Slave Population, 1790-1820
The Era of Good Feelings was a time of nationalism, but there were growing problems between the North and South (called sectionalism)
American Slave Population,
What is changing in the two maps?

15. These disagreements dominated politics from 1820 to 1860
Northerners & Southerners disagreed over slavery, taxes, and the role of government
These disagreements dominated politics from 1820 to 1860
American Slave Population,
Slavery – what did they disagree over?
Taxes?
Role of government?

16. When Missouri applied to become a U.S. state, sectionalism emerged
Northerners did not want Southern states to increase power in the national gov’t
If Missouri entered as a slave state, the South would have 2 more Senators than the North
11 free/11 slave --- there will be an imbalance
Sectional disagreements still existed even with nationalism at an all time high
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

17. Missouri became a slave state
In 1820, Henry Clay negotiated the Missouri Compromise (Compromise of 1820)
Maine broke from Massachusetts and became a free state
Missouri became a slave state
Compromise:
Northern part of Mass would join as the free state of Maine
No slavery north of the 36”30 line – see map
This was just a temporary fix
Slavery was outlawed in all western territories above the latitude of 36°30'

18. For each president provide their political party, years ruled, two major events during their presidency, and two words that represents that president.
- Try to complete as much as possible without looking at your notes, then use your notes, and lastly use the the internet.

19. When you finish all 5 presidents
Pick 1 to a make an informational poster about
Pick up a piece of paper and photo of the president
Create the poster with all your info for that president
Add 2 quotes to poster that show the presidents views, intentions, and/or beliefs while in office.
