Sectionalism and Nationalism (1815-1840): Impact on Trade, Technology, and Transportation in the United States

This period of American history saw the rise of sectionalism and nationalism, which influenced trade, technology, and transportation. The British naval blockade, industrial revolution, Lowell textile mills, and the cotton gin all played a significant role. Additionally, the American System, Erie Canal, National Road, and railroads were key developments during this time. The courts, foreign affairs, and westward expansion were also influenced by nationalism. This era is often referred to as the "Era of Good Feelings" due to a sense of unity and national pride.

Maryland (National Bank is constitutional and states can’t interfere) 1819 I was appointed for life! You can’t touch me! Gibbons v. Ogden (Only Congress can regulate interstate commerce) 1824

  23. Sometimes called the “Era of Good Feelings”

  24. The Monroe Doctrine 1823 No European country can come into our hemisphere! President Monroe Policy of U.S. opposition to any European interference in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere

  25. Some U.S. interventions in Latin America since the Monroe Doctrine… 1823: The Monroe Doctrine declares that Latin America is within the United States' "sphere of influence". 1846: The US goes to war with Mexico and the latter is forced to cede half its national territory to its northern "neighbor", including present-day Texas and California. 1854: The US navy bombards and destroys the Nicaraguan port town of San Juan del Norte. The attack occurred after US millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt sailed his yacht into the port and an official attempted to levy charges on his boat. The navy attack was to pave the way for William Walker. 1855: William Walker, operating on behalf of bankers Morgan & Garrison, invades Nicaragua and proclaims himself President. During his two year rule, Walker also invaded neighboring El Salvador and Honduras (proclaiming himself head of state in each of these countries also). Walker restored slavery in areas under his occupation. 1898: The US declares war on Spain and annexes Guam, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii. US forces also occupied Cuba, another former Spanish colony, after the war. 1901: US forces leave Cuba and the country gains its "independence" only after passage of the infamous Platt Amendment, under which the US abrogated to itself the "right" to intervene in Cuba's internal affairs at any time. Cuba was also forced to cede Gauntanamo Bay to the US, in perpetuity. 1903: The US "encourages" the creation of the separate state of Panama, then a part of Colombia and acquires rights to the Panama Canal. In later years, former President Theodore Roosevelt - the effective creator of Panama - was to remark: "I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate". Colombia was later paid $25 million in compensation. 1905: US President Theodore Roosevelt declares the United States to be "the policeman" of the Caribbean; the Dominican Republic (then part of Hispaniola) is then found to have committed an offence and is placed under a "customs receivership". 1912: U.S. marines invade Nicaragua, beginning an occupation that was to last almost continuously until 1933. In the same year, President Taft declares: "The day is not far distant when three Stars & Stripes at three equidistant points will mark our territory: one at the North Pole, another at the Panama Canal and the third at the South Pole. The whole hemisphere will be ours in fact as, by virtue of our superiority of race, it already is ours morally." 1914: The US navy shells the port city of Veracruz, an attack apparently caused by the refusal of some Mexicans to salute the Stars & Stripes. During World War I, the US also invaded Mexico and Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti). They stayed for 20 years. 1933: US forces leave Nicaragua leaving dictator Anastasio Somoza and his National Guard in control. 1954: The CIA orchestrates the overthrow of the democratically-elected government of JacoboArbenz, in Guatemala. A Guatemalan poet described the Arbenz government as "years of spring in a country of eternal tyranny." Almost 40 years of violence and repression followed, culminating in the "scorched earth" government terror of the 1980s. Over 150,000 people lost their lives. 1961: US-backed forces invade Cuba but suffer defeat at the Bay of Pigs. 1965: 23,000 troops sent to the Dominican Republic to "restore order", following a popular uprising against the country's military regime. 1973: A US-backed coup overthrows the elected government of Salvador Allende, ushering in the regime of General Augusto Pinochet. 1981: The Reagan Administration initiates the "contra war" against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. 1983: US invasion of Grenada. 1989: US invasion of Panama to arrest one-time protégé, Manual Noriega. The operation leaves thousands of civilian casualties. 1990: Massive US intervention in the Nicaraguan election process through covert and overt means. Washington openly funded the opposition coalition, yet such foreign funding of US parties would be illegal under US law. 2000: As part of the "War on Drugs", the US launches Plan Colombia, a massive civil and military aid program for a country with perhaps the worst human rights record in the hemisphere. Total US funding is $1.3 bn, with 83 percent of that going to the military. Plan Colombia later becomes subsumed into the War on Terror. 2002: The US supports and funds elements that organized the unsuccessful April 11 coup in Venezuela. This here’s my territory, see? And you better not cross this line or else!

  30. Newfield in the 1830s 5 grist mills (2 in the village) and 21 sawmills (3 in the village); Newfield was still offering a $10 bounty on full-grown wolf skins; 15 schoolhouses – no high school yet; lumber and exporting deer skins are still important industries; a lot of businesses in the village – 2 stores, blacksmiths, a tannery, a cooper, a hotel, a tavern, a (wool) cloth factory…and about 60 houses The tannery (where the Town Hall is now) prepared deer skins as follows: the skins were de-haired by using lime and then soaked in a mixture called “bate”, comprised of hen dung, salt and water, all of which was dumped (untreated) into the creek when the process was over. Apparently, it smelled awful.

  31. Law that forced Native Americans east of the Mississippi River to move to the lands in the West. The Indian Removal Act of 1830

  34. John C. Calhoun Daniel Webster From South Carolina Thought that tariffs benefitted only the Northern States, at the expense of the Southern States From Massachusetts Thought that states not submitting to federal law was the same as ‘revolution’ The federal government is taking too much power away from the states The States’ Rights Issue

  35. John C. Calhoun Daniel Webster These northerners will ruin our way of life Northern States Southern States These southerners need to learn who’s in charge. I believe in nullification – the right of a state to refuse to recognize an act of Congress if the state thinks it’s unconstitutional Nullification is illegal, and will lead to disunion. The country will come apart. The States’ Rights Issue

  36. How much power should the federal government have? Still an issue!

  37. Jackson hated the Bank of the United States, calling it a “privileged institution”, and vetoed its charter (killed it) in 1836. After that, government funds were placed in certain state banks.

  38. In 1834, the Whig Partyforms, mostly as a reaction to Andrew Jackson and his supporters. Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster…eventually Abraham Lincoln They believe in the American System…tariffs, infrastructure and federal control of the banking system
