Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The Era of Good Feeling can best be characterized as years of economic growth within the United States. It was the period of peace and prosperity after the war of 1812, only one political party and increased sense of nationalism. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -Monroe’s greatest achievement as a diplomat was his negotiation of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Elected President of the United States in 1816 and in 1820, James Monroe resolved long-standing grievances with the British, acquired Florida from Spain in 1819, and proclaimed the “Monroe Doctrine” in 1823.
