The Era of Good Feelings from 1816-1824 was characterized by a lack of partisan conflict following the demise of the Federalist party. James Monroe was elected president twice during this period with little opposition. His administration pursued an agenda of nationalist economic policies like tariffs and internal improvements, as well as expanding US territory through treaties like the Adams-Onis Treaty. However, regional tensions emerged over slavery and economic issues, foreshadowing the break down of the Era of Good Feelings.
