  1. Nationalism Chapter 3, Section 3

  2. Nationalism Shapes Domestic Policies • The presidency of James Monroe was dubbed by a newspaper as an “era of good feelings.” Monroe was elected in 1816 and 1820. • This was in part due to the spreading of nationalism, or glorification of the nation. • The policies of the Democratic Republicans were changing from their early principles. The Tariff of 1816was just one part of what would be called the American System. • This system focused on internal improvements that would unite the Atlantic with the Midwest. • One of the leading D-R supporters was Henry Clay. • Clay also supported a national bank, the original charter expiring in 1811.

  3. Nationalism Shapes Domestic Policies • John Marshall continued to serve as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and served on several cases that boosted the power of the federal government. Identify the key points of the two cases below:

  4. Nationalism Shapes Domestic Policies • As the nation’s economy expanded, it was subject to periods of decline, also known as “busts.” • These periods contrasted with the “boom” periods in which demand for goods was high. • Bust periods occurred in 1819, 1837 and 1857in which industrial workers, farmers and planters lost jobs. • The nationalism of the time also influenced art and literature of the time period. This period became known as the American Renaissance.

  5. Nationalism Influences Foreign Affairs • The first move of territorial expansion was the acquisition of Floridafrom Spain. Included in the treaty was Spain’s end to claims to the Oregon Territory. • In an effort to fend off European countries from re-acquiring lands in the United States, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams penned the Monroe Doctrine to warn off European countries from interfering/colonizing in the Western Hemisphere. • During the time period, with only a small army and navy to enforce it, the doctrine meant little.

  6. The Nation Compromises Over Slavery • However, nationalismdid not equate to a unified nation. This made it difficult to govern. • In 1819, Missourisought admission to the United States. At the time there were an equal number of freeand slave states in favor of the South. • Henry Clay wrote a compromise which would become known as the Missouri Compromise. Under this, Missouri would enter as a slave state, and Maine (the upper district of Massachusetts) would enter as a free state. • The compromise also enacted a line in which all future states south would be slave. This was the 36° 30’ line. • Southerners began to feel a threat to the institution of slavery, and the dissenting opinions that accompanied it. They believed that such a compromise would spur slave revolts, such as the one led by Denmark Veseyin 1822.
