American Nationalism

The Era of Good Feelings (1816-1820) marked a significant period of American nationalism under President James Monroe. Characterized by a unique national unity and economic growth, this era witnessed the strengthening of the federal government and the Supreme Court's authority. Key developments included the establishment of the Second Bank of the United States, protective tariffs to support manufacturers, and a focus on transportation improvements. The Monroe Doctrine further asserted American interests in the Western Hemisphere, signaling a departure from European entanglements.
