Monroe's presidency from 1817 to 1825 was known as the "Era of Good Feelings" due to a sense of national unity following the War of 1812. The economy flourished due to high foreign demand for American goods. However, a depression in 1819 occurred when British merchants flooded the American market with cheap goods, hurting domestic manufacturers. During this time, the Marshall Court issued several rulings that strengthened the federal government and limited state power, including McCulloch v. Maryland. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 resolved a divisive debate over the expansion of slavery into new states and territories by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state.

Chapter 6 US History - Mr. Philen
After the ratification of the Constitution, President George Washington took his first steps in establishing the new government by signing the Judiciary Act of 1789 to create the Supreme Court and establishing the initial three Executive Departments. However, differences soon emerged between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson on the role and power of the federal government, leading to the formation of the first political parties - the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. As these early administrations faced challenges with Native American relations, foreign affairs with Britain and France, and internal dissent, the divisions between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans continued to grow.

Supreme court cases
This document summarizes four important Supreme Court cases: Marbury v. Madison established the Court's power of judicial review; McCulloch v. Maryland increased national power over states; Gibbons v. Ogden affirmed federal regulation of interstate trade; and Dred Scott v. Sanford denied citizenship to African Americans and found the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, exacerbating sectional divisions.
Ap ch. 8
During the Era of Good Feelings from 1813-1824, both nationalism and sectionalism existed simultaneously in the United States. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 temporarily resolved the issue of the expansion of slavery but Thomas Jefferson predicted it would continue to divide the country along regional lines. At the same time, there was a political movement led by Henry Clay to promote economic nationalism through internal improvements, tariffs, and a national bank. Westward expansion also contributed to growth, but internal improvements faced opposition over constitutional authority. The Era of Good Feelings ended with the controversial 1824 presidential election and rise of the Democratic Party under Andrew Jackson.
Political developments in the early republic
George Washington was sworn in as the first US President in 1789, but the new government faced financial problems as the treasury was empty.

Chapter 6-8 Review
The document appears to be a review for a test on early US history covering topics such as the Constitutional Convention, the early administrations of Washington and Adams, and the early 19th century. It contains multiple choice questions about key events, people, and documents during this period of US history, including questions about the Virginia and New Jersey Plans, Hamilton's financial plans, the War of 1812, and landmark Supreme Court cases.
The Early Republic
As the first President of the United States, George Washington faced many challenges in establishing the new government. He assembled the first Cabinet and helped create the federal court system. Alexander Hamilton proposed an ambitious economic plan that included paying off national debt, establishing the Bank of the United States, and implementing protective tariffs. Political divisions emerged in the 1790s with the formation of the Federalist Party led by Hamilton and the Democratic-Republican Party led by Thomas Jefferson, who disagreed on interpreting the Constitution and economic policies.
Washington
George Washington helped define the role of President in several key ways. As the first President, he established important precedents like creating the first Cabinet departments, setting up the Supreme Court, and demonstrating the strength of the federal government by suppressing the Whiskey Rebellion. Washington also set an example by choosing to serve only two terms and warning against political parties in his Farewell Address. His decisions around neutrality in foreign conflicts and avoiding long-term alliances helped isolate the young nation from problems in Europe. Many of the precedents Washington set, such as the two-term limit and Cabinet system, are still visible in the presidency today.
The Revolution
The document summarizes the key events leading up to the American Revolution from the 1760s through the early 1780s. Dissatisfaction grew among colonists in response to new taxes imposed by the British Parliament and a sense that their rights were not being respected. Events like the Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and Intolerable Acts inflamed tensions and protests. The Continental Congresses formed an alliance with France and officially declared independence in 1776. After early setbacks, American and French forces were victorious over the British at Saratoga and Yorktown, leading to recognition of independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Politics in 1800's dk
The document summarizes the key differences between the Federalist and Republican parties in early American politics. The Federalists, led by figures like Washington, Hamilton, and Adams, believed in a strong central government, loose interpretation of the Constitution, and policies to help businesses. Republicans, led by Jefferson and Madison, favored states' rights, strict interpretation of the Constitution, and an agriculture-based economy. The document outlines the major policies and contributions of key figures from both parties that helped shape the American identity and two-party political system in the early years.

Republicans, led by Jefferson and Madison, favored states' rights, strict interpretation, and an agriculture-based economy. Key events and policies of the Federalist and Republican presidencies are also outlined, showing the shifting political landscape and identity of early America.
Industrialism
During the Industrial Era from 1877-1882, known as the Gilded Age, industrialists like Carnegie and Rockefeller amassed great wealth through industries like steel and oil. Labor unrest grew as workers faced difficult conditions and low pay without protections. Both farmers and workers organized movements and unions to advocate for economic reforms and government regulation of large businesses. As more Americans moved to cities, urban poverty and slums grew due to lack of policies around housing, healthcare, and workers' rights. Women and African Americans faced continued discrimination and worked to gain more rights and opportunities through new organizations.
Adams Administration
John Adams' presidency from 1797 to 1801 was unproductive and frustrating. The XYZ Affair strained relations with France and led to the Quasi-War, a naval conflict between the two countries. Additionally, the Federalist-controlled government passed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts to restrict immigrants and opposition newspapers. This prompted the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions arguing states could nullify federal laws, setting a precedent for states' rights. There were also slave and tax-based rebellions. The 1800 election between Jefferson and Adams ended with Jefferson winning after support from Hamilton. Adams also made last-minute judicial appointments before leaving office.

At home, wartime production and millions of new workers transformed the nation. The war also accelerated social changes like the civil rights movement and women's roles. After Allied victories in Europe and the Pacific, the war ended with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
The monroe doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine, declared by President James Monroe in 1823, stated that European countries could not colonize or interfere with independent nations in the Western Hemisphere. The doctrine aimed to prevent further colonization in North and South America by European powers like Britain and also keep the peace after costly wars like the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 drained American resources. The Monroe Doctrine helped maintain peace among existing nations in the Americas and protected American shipping and territory from European encroachment.

Emergence of a Market Economy, Nationalism & Sectionalism
1) After the War of 1812, the United States experienced an economic boom and the rise of nationalism as the federal government took a more active role in strengthening the nation.
2) Sectional divisions emerged over economic issues like the tariff, which hurt Southern agricultural exports but benefitted Northern manufacturers.
3) The era also saw the expansion of slavery into new western territories, fueling debates over the future of that institution in America.
Chapter 7 1
The document discusses the Era of Good Feelings following the War of 1812 and the policies that strengthened nationalism and the federal government. Westerners advocated for internal improvements like roads and canals, while economic nationalists supported a national bank, tariffs, and manufacturing protections. Key Supreme Court cases under John Marshall expanded federal power and established judicial review. The US also expanded its territory through the Adams-Onis Treaty and asserted its influence in the Americas with the Monroe Doctrine.
AP US History Chapter 8
The document summarizes the economic and political changes in the United States following the War of 1812. It discusses the rise of Neo-Federalism under leaders like Henry Clay, who advocated policies like tariffs and internal improvements to promote national growth. The document also covers the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which admitted Missouri to the union as a slave state and banned slavery in other territories north of 36° 30' latitude to balance the number of free and slave states. Finally, it discusses the Monroe Doctrine of 1823, which opposed European colonization in the Americas and helped expand American territorial influence.
unit 3 presentation period 3
The document argues that the label "Era of Good Feelings" is not accurate for the period after the War of 1812. It points to growing conflicts from industrialization, increasing divisions between citizens, and political disagreements. Specifically, it notes the rise of sectionalism between the North and South as the key evidence against the label.

HIS 131
Chapter 9, 10, & 11
I. America’s Economic Revolution
There had been signs for many years that the United States was poised for a period of
dramatic economic growth…In the 1820’s and 1830’s, that period finally
began….Improvements in transportation and the expanding range of business activity
created, for the first time, a national market economy.
Each area of the country could concentrate on the production of a certain type of goods,
relying on other areas to buy its surplus production and to supply it with those things it no
longer produced itself.
For example, this regional specialization allowed the South to concentrate on growing its
most lucrative crop…cotton….And, it allowed the North to develop a new factory
system, which began an industrial revolution that would, in time, become even greater
than the one that had begun in England in 1770.
By the mid-1820’s, the nation’s economy was growing more rapidly than its population.
----------------------------------
Many factors combined to produce this dramatic transformation.
The American people were becoming more numerous and were spreading across a far
greater expanse of territory, providing both a labor supply for the production of goods
and a market for the sale of those goods.
A “transportation revolution”…based on the construction of roads, canals, and eventually
railroads…was giving merchants and manufacturers access to new markets and raw
materials….New entrepreneurial techniques were making a rapid business expansion
possible…And, technological advances were helping to spur industry to new levels of
activity.
Perhaps, equally important, Americans in the 1820’s adopted an ethic of growth that was
based on a commitment of hard work, individual initiative, thrift, and ambition…The
results of their efforts seemed to confirm the value of such a commitment.
II. Sectionalism and Nationalism
For a brief but alarming moment during this exciting time of economic revolution, the
increasing differences between the nation’s two leading sections (the North and South)
threatened to damage the unity of the United States.
2
But once a sectional crisis was averted with the Missouri Compromise, the forces of
nationalism continued to assert themselves…And, the federal government began to
assume the role of promoter of economic growth.
A. The Missouri Compromise
When Missouri applied for statehood in 1819, slavery was already well established
there…The French and Spanish inhabitants of the Louisiana Territory (including what
later became Missouri) had owned slaves…And felt that they should continue to do so,
because in the 1803 treaty that had finalized the Louisiana Purchase, the United States
government had promised to maintain and protect the inhabitants in the free enjoyment of
their property
By 1819, approximately 60,000 people resided in the Missouri Territory, of whom 10,000
were slaves.
In that year, while Missouri’s application for statehoo ...
Mexican American War
The Mexican–American War was a bloody battle between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. The U.S. defeated Mexico and gained over 500,000 square miles of territory in the Southwest, including California, Texas and New Mexico. This was driven by America's belief in Manifest Destiny and desire to expand its territory across North America to the Pacific Ocean. The war started due to tensions between the U.S. and Mexico over the annexation of Texas by the U.S. and border disputes in the Southwest. Mexico was further weakened after the war and unable to control its territories.
USH History Ch. 2
- The document discusses several key events and developments during the Early American Republic and Age of Jackson eras, including the rise of political parties, important Supreme Court cases, the War of 1812, and increasing sectional tensions between the North and South.
- It also summarizes key figures like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, and Henry Clay, and policies like the Missouri Compromise that attempted to manage the slavery issue.
- By the 1830s, the Whig party emerged in opposition to Jackson's Democratic party amid debates around states' rights, nullification, and the national bank.
USH History Ch. 2
The document summarizes key events in early American history from the establishment of the new republic to the Civil War era. It discusses the rise of political parties like the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, important presidents like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison, the War of 1812, westward expansion and the concept of Manifest Destiny, increasing sectional tensions particularly around the issues of slavery and states' rights, and ultimately the Civil War between the Union and Confederate states from 1861-1865.
Labor and economy
1. The growth of large corporations in the late 19th century led to declining wages and increasing profits, causing the formation of national labor unions like the AFL to advocate for workers' rights.
2. The Panic of 1893 caused widespread unemployment and economic depression, fueling the Populist movement which called for government regulation of railroads and banks.
3. World War II pulled the US out of the Great Depression by stimulating industrial production but the postwar economic boom also led to rising inflation that was exacerbated by the oil crises of the 1970s.
Nationalism vs sectionalism
The period after the War of 1812 saw the emergence of both nationalism and sectionalism in the United States. While President James Monroe's administration attempted to promote national unity during the "Era of Good Feelings," economic and demographic changes strengthened regional identities and tensions over the expansion of slavery grew with the Missouri Compromise of 1820. By the 1824 and 1828 presidential elections, partisanship had replaced the brief period of unified national spirit.

The document contains questions from quizzes on chapters about early American history. It includes questions about key figures like John Marshall, important court cases like Gibbons v. Ogden and McCulloch v. Maryland, and major events and policies like the Monroe Doctrine and Missouri Compromise. The questions assess students' understanding of the impact of these figures, cases, events, and policies in establishing federal supremacy and promoting nationalism in the early United States.
Ch 9 10_era of good feelings
The document discusses Western expansion in the United States after the War of 1812. It summarizes that Americans took advantage of the secure borders following the war to develop the vast resources of the country. New technologies like railroads, telegraphs, and steamboats opened up the frontier for settlement and economic growth. Stories of explorers and large cooperative settlement efforts prompted many Americans to move west in search of land and opportunity. This Western expansion often disregarded treaty boundaries with Native Americans and other countries, fueling conflicts.
Nationalism and Sectionalism
The document discusses several key events and developments in early American foreign policy and domestic politics:
1) The United States gained Florida from Spain through the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, which also settled border disputes with Britain.
2) The Monroe Doctrine strengthened U.S. ties with Latin America by warning European powers not to interfere in the Western Hemisphere.
3) Growing nationalism led Congress to fund improvements to roads and canals to link the country commercially and help it become economically self-sufficient.
The origins of american politics
Alexander Hamilton's plan to assume state debts was controversial but helped strengthen the national government. This and Hamilton's other economic policies like the whiskey tax divided Americans into Federalist and Jeffersonian Republican parties with opposing views. The 1800 election was a turning point with Jefferson defeating Adams and the peaceful transfer of power between parties establishing an important precedent.

During President Madison's terms in office, nationalism grew in the United States. To compete with foreign countries and improve economic independence, Madison pursued protective tariffs and transportation infrastructure like roads and canals. This helped spur industrialization and economic development. Under later president James Monroe, nicknamed the "Era of Good Feelings", the federal government grew stronger through Supreme Court cases that enhanced its power over states. Monroe also issued the Monroe Doctrine to ward off future European colonization in the Americas and assert U.S. influence in the western hemisphere.
Progreessive Era Chapter07
The document summarizes key events in the early 19th century United States that led to increasing regional economic and political differences between the North and South. The North industrialized and relied on manufacturing and trade while the South developed a plantation economy dependent on cotton and slavery. Andrew Jackson expanded democracy but also advanced the forced removal of Native Americans. Debates over states' rights and national banking increased tensions between advocates of federal power and states' rights.

The growth of industrialism
This document discusses the growth of industrialism in the United States in the late 19th century. It describes how technological innovations led to a transformation from an agrarian to an industrial economy, with a shift from farm goods to industry. This industrialization process resulted in urbanization as many migrated from rural to urban areas for new job opportunities. However, the growth of industry also brought poor living and working conditions, long hours, child labor, and other hardships for many Americans.
Institutionalized racism
This document discusses institutionalized racism in post-Reconstruction America. After the Civil War, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments outlawed slavery and granted citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. However, white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan used violence and intimidation to take away these rights. The Supreme Court also upheld "separate but equal" policies like Jim Crow laws, legitimizing racial segregation and discrimination until 1954.
Immigration
This document provides information about European immigration to the United States between 1865 and 1915. It discusses the types of immigrants, their living and working conditions, and the hardships they faced. Students will assume the role of a European immigrant and record journal entries describing their reasons for leaving their homeland, the journey to America, processing at Ellis Island, living conditions in ethnic enclaves in cities, and working conditions and treatment by native-born Americans.
Claims and evidence immigration
This document provides instruction on writing claims, evidence, and reasoning. It defines a claim as a statement that answers a question or states an opinion. Evidence is defined as facts that support a claim. Reasoning is a justification for how the evidence supports the claim using facts or data. An example is provided of a claim about harsh conditions faced by Chinese immigrants, supported by evidence of a riot targeting Chinese residents and reasoning about further discrimination with the Chinese Exclusion Act.
The creation of new governments
This document provides an overview of the creation of new governments following the American Revolution. It describes how the Articles of Confederation created a very weak national government with limited powers, which led to problems like financial troubles, inflation, and Shays' Rebellion. This convinced leaders that a stronger central government was needed, which led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution to address the failures of the Articles of Confederation by strengthening the national government while balancing federal and state powers.
Declaration of independence
The document discusses the Declaration of Independence and its relationship to Enlightenment ideas of natural rights and social contract. It provides context for the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence against King George III, including taxation without representation, imposition of troops, and deprivation of trial by jury. It also summarizes the preamble and conclusion of the Declaration which reference the need to dissolve political ties with the King due to tyranny and assert the right to self-governance.

This document provides background on the Vietnam War from 1954 to 1975. It summarizes key events including France's loss of control to Ho Chi Minh's forces in 1954, the division of Vietnam along the 17th parallel, the US escalation of military involvement under Kennedy and Johnson, the Tet Offensive of 1968 that turned US public opinion against the war, Nixon's Vietnamization policy, the 1973 ceasefire agreement, and the fall of Saigon to North Vietnamese forces in 1975. It also discusses the human and financial costs of the war as well as its lasting impacts.
People in societies
This document provides an overview of different cultural perspectives in the United States. It discusses the contributions made by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and Asian Americans. It also profiles four prominent political action groups: the NAACP, NOW, AIM, and UFW. The document concludes by assigning students an activity where they will create a "quilt square" representing the contributions of one of these cultures to American society.
Marbury v. Madison
Marbury v. Madison established the Supreme Court's power of judicial review. John Adams appointed William Marbury as a judge on his last day in office, but the appointment was not delivered before Thomas Jefferson took office as the new president. Jefferson refused to deliver the appointment. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that while Marbury was entitled to his appointment, the court did not have constitutional authority to force Jefferson to deliver it. This established the Supreme Court's ability to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.

This established the Supreme Court's ability to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.
Civil Rights
The civil rights movement aimed to end segregation and racial discrimination through nonviolent protest. Major events included the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declaring segregation unconstitutional, the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by Martin Luther King Jr., and the 1965 Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act addressing legal discrimination. However, the movement faced resistance through violent attacks and the emergence of more militant groups like the Black Panthers advocating for black power through any means necessary.
Labor unions
By 1904, over two million laborers had joined labor unions in hopes of improving poor working conditions and policies set by big businesses. Two major unions that emerged were the Knights of Labor, which advocated for all workers, and the American Federation of Labor, which focused on skilled white male workers. Businesses strongly opposed unions and their demands for higher wages and safer work environments. They viewed unions as socialist and had many leaders arrested. Disputes between businesses and unions often led to violent strikes and riots between police and protesters. Over time, unions succeeded in establishing limits on work hours and compensation for workers injuries, and many states passed child labor laws.
Kennedy and johnson
Kennedy intensified tensions during the Cold War through military buildups and confrontations with the Soviet Union over Berlin and Cuba. His policies deepened American involvement in Vietnam by supporting the Diem regime and increasing military advisors. Kennedy took responsibility for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion but successfully navigated the Cuban Missile Crisis. His domestic policies pursued economic growth and reform but made limited progress on civil rights due to Southern opposition in Congress. Johnson continued and expanded Kennedy's reforms through Great Society programs while also escalating US involvement in the unpopular Vietnam War. The turbulent 1960s saw widespread social unrest and protest movements emerge over civil rights, Vietnam, and other issues.
Cold war truman eisenhower
1) After WWII, Europe was divided between the Soviet-controlled Eastern bloc and the US-influenced Western bloc.
2) The US sought to contain Soviet expansion through policies like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan, and alliances like NATO.
3) The Cold War expanded to Asia, with the Soviets backing Mao's China and the US supporting Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan and consolidating control of Japan. The Korean War further escalated tensions.

World War II was a transformative event that required unprecedented mobilization of the US economy and society. The US initially adopted a strategy of holding actions in the Pacific while focusing on Europe. Key battles like Midway arrested Japanese expansion and allowed resources to shift to Europe. The US home front experienced massive industrial conversion and full employment of citizens in war production. The war had profound social impacts, including the integration of women and African Americans into the military and workforce. New technologies like the atomic bomb led to Japanese surrender, ending the most devastating war in world history.
Conflict In The 1920s
The document summarizes several social, political, and economic trends in the United States during the 1920s. It discusses the rise of Marcus Garvey and the UNIA movement advocating black separatism and return to Africa. It also describes the growing Mexican and Puerto Rican populations settling in southwestern cities and working low-paying jobs. Conflict arose from rapid social changes which alarmed white Protestants and led to the resurgence of the KKK. Prohibition created enforcement problems while the Scopes trial debated teaching evolution in schools. The Sacco and Vanzetti case and corruption scandals plagued Harding's presidency, while Coolidge avoided scandals and focused on business interests. The stock market crash of 1929 marked the
Roaring 20s
The document summarizes several key events and trends in the United States during the 1920s. It mentions the Red Scare following World War 1 and fears of communism. It also discusses Warren G. Harding being elected in 1920 on a platform of returning to normalcy. Finally, it outlines major economic developments of the Roaring Twenties such as rising consumerism, mass production, and credit availability, as well as social changes including urbanization, changes for women and African Americans, and conflicts over religion and culture.
Affects Of War
During World War 1, large numbers of white women worked in factories and jobs previously closed to them, though they faced resentment and returned to traditional roles after the war. The labor shortage also opened jobs to racial minorities like Mexican-Americans and blacks, though racial discrimination continued. Prohibition was enacted to conserve resources for the war effort and promote temperance. The Treaty of Versailles established the League of Nations but faced opposition in the US Senate, resulting in America not joining the League. The consequences of the war included US economic leadership but also bitterness and instability that contributed to WWII.
Wwi
Woodrow Wilson led the United States during World War I, maintaining neutrality at first but eventually declaring war on Germany in 1917. To mobilize the country, Wilson's administration established agencies to oversee war industries, food and fuel production, labor relations, taxation, and propaganda. However, these efforts also led to some restrictions on civil liberties as dissent was suppressed through policies like the Espionage and Sedition Acts. By the end of the war in 1918, America had committed troops and resources to help the Allies defeat Germany on the Western Front.
