The title “Era of Good Feelings” is given to the period from 1815 to 1825, which is recognized for the flourishing development of the young nation. In most cases this label is inaccurate, as sectionalism was profoundly more predominant than nationalism in the country following the War of 1812. Although the nation showed moments of unity that represented success, the tensions that separate it are more evident . Situations involving domestic issues were covered by solving foreign problems. Therefore, the underlying controversies in America were overlooked and the nation chose to focus more on the country's international diplomacy. The “Era of Good Feelings” was an apt description for the United States' approach to global issues, but when domestic conditions are studied inclusively, “good feelings” appear to be an illusion. Sectionalism has been highlighted especially through the unstable economic conditions in the nation. The “Era of Good Feelings” occurred during the Democratic Republican presidency, but the agricultural sector was not given exceptional importance. John Randolph in Document A refers to how agriculture is not taken into account when making federal economic decisions, but manufacturing is taken into account entirely. “Farmers bear the full brunt of war and taxes, and remain poor, while the rest run in the circle of pleasure, and grow fat from them.” Only allowing the manufacturing economy to thrive, while suppressing the agricultural economy, represents an insecure foundation on which a country can survive. However, this situation shows the lack of balance in society, exposing strong tension between north, south and west. Each region cared only for its own individual prospects... middle of paper... I reject our proposal from Great Britain." (Document H) "The era of good feelings" was not a correct description for the years between 1815 and 1825. Sectionalism was often present throughout the country, while periods of nationalism were scarce and generally occurred during the Monroe Doctrine and the 1820 elections accelerated nationalism, but with the elections of 1824 this nationalism underwent a great decline. Even during the years of “nationalism” under Monroe, explosions of sectionalism were also evident with the Missouri Compromise and McCulloch v. Maryland the issue of slavery and the ever-changing political opinions. Therefore the mislabel given to this era is generally farcical, as the actions of sectionalism mostly overwhelmed the feeling of nationalism..
