The time period immediately following the War of 1812 was called the Era of Good Feelings by a Boston newspaper.
James Monroe, the new president, was uniting the nation under one political party [the Republicans] and trying to expand the country’s borders.
Because there was little partisan fighting [arguing between political parties] the country was able to move forward.
Unfortunately the good feeling did not last very long.
Monroe’s Secretary of State [advisor in charge of contact with foreign countries] created a plan to bring greater security to the United States.
The Monroe Doctrine did not allow foreign countries such as England, France and Spain to control any land near the United States as colonies.
The United States would control the Western Hemisphere.
All good things usually come to an end. So did the Era of Good Feelings The National Bank set up by Hamilton
under his plan had expired and no longer existed.
Individual states had set up banks that were lending money to people who were not repaying
The amount of money the federal government had in circulation was limited
Prices on goods started to rise uncontrollably and financial panic set in
The U.S. Government settled the economy down by issuing large amounts of specie [silver and gold coins] to bring real value to the economy
The U.S. government created another national bank so it could collect taxes, issue currency, borrow money and lend money
States were angry they had to compete with the federal government so they decided to tax the national bank
Can states tax the federal government?
This conflict ended up in court. The U.S. Supreme Court decided that: [A] Congress had the power to create banks [B] States had no power to tax the federal government
This U.S. Supreme Court case was similar to the McCulloch case because it dealt with interstate commerce and conflict between the states and federal government
The decision ruled that whenever conflicts between a state and national government arose the national government was superior
Corrupt bargain of 1824 was the deal to allow John Quincy Adams become president of the United States.
During this election no one received 51% of the popular vote. When that happens who selects the president?
The House of Representatives! Henry Clay, the House Speaker, steered votes Adams’ way in exchange for being made Secretary of State.
Henry Clay believed that job would get him closer to becoming the next president
Style of government that included more of the common types of people instead of mostly wealthy and highly educated people
BELIEVED IN UNIVERSAL WHITE MANHOOD SUFFRAGE

Economic plan that protected American industries [farming, manufacturing] from foreign competition.
Create tariffs [taxes on imported/foreign goods] to protect American businesses [farms]
Create a national bank to stop the risky state banks and make American stronger
Congressman Henry Clay

Senator Calhoun from South Carolina was against tariffs
Tariffs made it harder to England to buy Southern cotton and damaged the economy
South Carolina Exposition and Protest-Letter Calhoun wrote denouncing, speaking against the tariff.
South Carolina Nullification Crisis-South Carolina tried to cancel out the federal law but couldn’t
Senator John C. Calhoun
Nat Turner was a slave from Virginia who rebelled against his owners. Turner escaped his plantation and other slaves joined him in revolt. The rebel slaves attacked whites, caused disturbances and violence More than 100 blacks were killed by white mobs and many new anti-
slave laws were passed to restrict the movement and rights of slaves. Nat Turner was captured, put on trial and hanged.
These were banks allowed to operate and receive money from the federal government.
They were called “pet” banks because they were favored by President Jackson for payments from the federal government.
FIRST TIME A NATIONAL CONVENTION WAS USED TO NOMINATE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
Electors from the Democratic party across the U.S. came together to nominate Andrew Jackson for president.
Jackson was re-elected by a huge margin [more than 2-to-1.
POLITICAL PARTY CREATED TO OPPOSE PRESIDENT JACKSON [TO DEFEAT HIM IN ELECTIONS]
GOALS WERE ECONOMIC PROTECTIONISM BY CREATING TARIFFS ON FOREIGN GOODS
