Take notes in the space provided. Take Notes Here The "Era of Good Feelings" was a period in American history from 1815 to 1825, marked by a sense of national unity and a decline in political division. This era followed the War of 1812, which had a unifying effect on Americans, despite the fact that the war was not a decisive victory. President James Monroe, who served from 1817 to 1825, was a key figure in this era, as he actively sought to minimize political parties and promote national unity. He even went on a goodwill tour of the northern states, which was met with great enthusiasm and helped to solidify his popularity. The "Era of Good Feelings" was a time of economic prosperity, with the establishment of a protective tariff, the Second Bank of the United States, and new transportation networks. This period also saw the collapse of the Federalist Party, leaving the Democratic-Republican Party as the dominant force in national politics. Despite its name, the "Era of Good Feelings" was not without its challenges. The political atmosphere was still strained and divisive, particularly within the Democratic-Republican Party. The Missouri Compromise, which attempted to resolve the issue of slavery in new territories, was a sign of the growing sectional tensions that would eventually lead to the Civil War. The "Era of Good Feelings" was a brief period of relative peace and prosperity, but it was also a time of growing tensions that would ultimately lead to a more turbulent period in American history.
