Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -ERA OF GOOD FEELINGS, 1817-1825. Sectionalism (n): restriction of interest to a narrow sphere; undue concern with local interests or petty distinctions at the expense of general well-being.
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: -His presidency, which began in 1817 and lasted until 1825, encompassed what came to be called the “Era of Good Feelings.” One of his lasting achievements was the Monroe Doctrine, which became a major tenet of U.S. foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere.
