...The “Era of Good Feelings” does not deserve its name due to the lack of actual good feelings. The “Era of Good Feelings” was a time between 1815 and 1825 in which the country was in a decent spot. It wasn’t until later, in the middle, during the “Era of Good Feeling” that the country faced many great problems and complications which mainly involved slavery. We can see these problems in our maps, specifically in A-1 and F-1. A-1’s first map shows how people voted and shows that the whole country was united to vote for Monroe as president. This is what our country should be, united, as being called The United States of America, but instead split in half between Republicans and Democrats. Then the second map of A-1 shows that there are 4 different fractions voting for a different president than the other fraction, with each being at least 14% of the population of the country at that time. Something to notice is that in the second map, there are 2 new added states which means this division must do something with the states....

...time for the United States between the end of the War of 1812 and the mid 1820s is considered the Era of Good Feelings for its political, economic and social growth. However, not everything was fine within this era. Sectionalism, or feelings of difference between regions of a country, was powerful between the North, West and South, as seen in Document Group E, and these differences would lead to clashes. Additionally, there was an economic collapse caused by the ineptitude of the national bank, as seen in Document Group D, and the expansion of slavery, as seen in Document F-1. However, despite all of these downsides I believe that the Era of Good Feelings deserves its name. First of all, we should think about the good, as there was a lot of it. There were many successful American artists, not just of art but also of writing, who brought fame to the young country. The culture of the United States grew thanks to these people, which also sparked nationalism, or love for one’s country, within the United States. Overall, the national pride of the United States grew within this period of time. Next, the United States grew. A series of agreements, such as the Treaty of 1818 and Adam-Onis Treaty, were signed to expand the United States and increase its power. The United...

...Many people now and day believe that the “Era of Good Feelings” was a period full of unity and happiness. But what many people don’t know is that it wasn’t exactly this great. The Era of Good Feelings wasn’t what it sounded like. Instead, this period was full of disputes. The “Era of Good Feelings” did not deserve its name due to the problems occurring at the time like slavery and economic problems. During this time, the topic of whether Missouri should be a slave state or a free state was stirring up, causing an argument splitting the states. While some states stood by prohibiting it as a slave state, others argued that there should still be slave states. This was a huge debate and the states argued about it. With this, the Missouri Compromise was...
