What words/phrases would you use to describe an “Era of Good Feelings”?
Read “ Era of Good Feelings” summary below:
The happy end of the War of 1812 led to the “Era of Good Feelings”. A period in which all Americans belonged to the same
political party-The Democratic-Republicans. This was partly due to the collapse of the Federalist Party, the old party of Alexander
Hamilton and John Adams. Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Purchase some years back, and by doubling the size of
America, there was a bigger sense of needing to secure America's borders from foreign nations.It was a “good thing” during this
time period America was at peace with European nations.This was a time in which American nationalism, or pride in one’s
country, surged. The economy was steady. New ideas were brought to the table, many including new transportation routes and
means of travel. The Erie canal was built creating a faster and cheaper way to ship goods, and the building of the canal itself
brought many jobs to America. While slavery still existed in the United States, there was at least an equal number of slave and
free states, creating a balance among different social ideologies.
Highlight or underline any ideas in the summary above that match your own list of reasons why a country’s
government and people would be happy and content.
Read “Clay’s American System” summary below:
In these years, Americans cooperated to improve their transportation routes by building roads and canals. Henry Clay sought to
resolve differences between the North and the South while representing the nationalist outlook of the west. Clay proposed his
“American System” to congress. His system consisted of high tariffs to protect American manufactured goods. He then proposed
that the money collected from the tariffs go towards roads and canals in the west. In this way, Clay hoped his system would bind
the industrial east and the agrarian west together. Despite his efforts, the American system never went into effect. Congress was
never able to adequately fund the project.

.​Read “The Missouri Compromise” below:
The American Revolution and the Constitutional Convention had failed to resolve the issue
of slavery in America. Many early American leaders had imagined that slavery would just
die out; however, the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 made it easier for
unskilled slaves to remove the seeds from the cotton. The factories of England and the
Northern U.S. kept up the demand for cotton. This made the production of cotton increase.
Therefore, plantations needed more slaves. After the Louisiana Purchase, the question of
slavery again came into sharp focus. Henry Clay engineered a compromise in which slavery
was forbidden in the new territory north of (36 30’) line, except Missouri. One free state
(Maine) and one slave state (Missouri) were admitted to the Union at the same time to
keep the balance between slave and free states in Senate.
Complete the sentences by filling in the blanks
In 1820, the Missouri Compromise was designed to ________________ slavery in the Louisiana Territory with the
exception of admitting _____________________ as a ____________ state, and to keep the balance,
____________________ was admitted as a _____________ state.
How did the Missouri Compromise aim to continue the “Era of Good Feelings”?
Read summary #1 of “The Monroe Doctrine” below
James Monroe fought in the American Revolution, helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase, and served
as Secretary of State under James Madison. During the early to mid 1800s, America was not directly
involved in any major foreign affairs; however, many European nations were dealing with problems
among their colonies in Latin America. This sparked Monroe issuing a doctrine to those European
nations:
“Our policy in regard to Europe is not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers; to cultivate
friendly relations with it, and to preserve the just land claims of every power…”
From the reading above, what was Monroe’s policy toward U.S. foreign involvement in European Territories so far in
the quote?
. Read part 2 of “The Monroe Doctrine” below
“...but this continent's circumstances are different. It is impossible that the European powers should extend their political
system to any portion of this continent without endangering our peace and happiness…”
From the reading above, what does it mean to extend “a political system to any portion of this continent”?
What was Monroe explaining to Spain and other European powers above?
