Detailed explanation-1: -The Era of Good Feelings marked a period in the political history of the United States that reflected a sense of national purpose and a desire for unity among Americans in the aftermath of the War of 1812.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1817 Monroe became the fifth president of the United States. This heralded the beginning of what became known as the “Era of Good Feelings” and a temporary end to the two-party system with the death of the Federalist Party.
Detailed explanation-3: -The good feelings, perhaps better termed complacency, were stimulated by two events of 1816, during the last year of the presidency of James Madison: the enactment of the first U.S. avowedly protective tariff and the establishment of the second National Bank.
Detailed explanation-4: -James Monroe’s presidency (1817-1825) ushered in what became known as the Era of Good Feelings, based partly on the high level of morale and economic prosperity in the post-war period.
