1. 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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

7. 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

11. 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.

12. The Era of Good Feelings
McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)

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

14. 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

15. 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

19. 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

Accusations grew after Clay was made secretary of state
