USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Era of Good Feelings started in 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Exultation replaced the bitter political divisions between Federalists and Republicans, the North and South, and the East Coast cities and settlers on the American frontier.

Detailed explanation-2: -The “Era of Good Feeling” refers to a period in U.S. history from about 1815 until about 1825, characterized by a sense of optimism and positivity. The era is closely associated with the presidency of James Monroe, who served two terms from 1817 to 1825.

Detailed explanation-3: -Marking the end of the War of 1812, the Treaty of Ghent, ushered in an era of heightened nationalism in the United States. Patriotic sentiments ran high as Americans delighted in their “victory” over the British and looked for ways to make their nation even stronger.

Detailed explanation-4: -Three important developments during Monroe’s presidency led to the end of the Era of Good Feelings: the Panic of 1819, the Missouri Crisis of 1820, and divisions among Republicans. The Panic of 1819 was a widespread financial crisis that led to a collapse of the American economy through 1821.

Detailed explanation-5: -Historians’ use of the term for American history between 1815 and 1825 is, however, somewhat misleading, because the entire period cannot be considered an era of “good feeling.” The period indeed started on positive notes.
