14. Under President James Monroe, the Democratic Republicans enjoyed an “era of good feelings.” The party backed nationalistic economic policies that used federal power to assist business and industry. This focus on business was a change from the government’s earlier support of agriculture and a weak federal government. With so little political fighting, some believed that political parties might disappear.

15. Henry Clay campaigned for a nationalistic economic policy called the American System, which included: high tariffs to protect industrial growth. road and canal construction, called internal improvements, to link the different sections of the nation. Clay believed the different regions could work together for the prosperity of the entire nation.

16. Clay wanted reestablishment of a national bank to control the nation’s money supply and banking. The First National Bank’s charter expired in 1811. Private and state banks were printing their own money, causing widespread uncertainty in value. Clay argued that control over the nation’s money supply and banking would restore confidence. As a result, Congress established the Second Bank of the United States in 1816. Second Bank of the U.S.

17. The Supreme Court continued to strengthen federal power under Chief Justice John Marshall Marshall first applied Federalist principles when he supported Judicial Review in Marbury v. Madison. In Dartmouth College v. Woodward and Fletcher v. Peck Marshall limited the power of state governments to interfere with business contracts. A Nationalistic Supreme Court

18. The state of Maryland tried to tax a branch of the Second National Bank. Marshall ruled that the power to tax is the power to destroy and a state can’t use taxes to destroy a bank created by Congress. The ruling broadly defined commerce and the power of Congress to control it. In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) Marshall asserted the superiority of federal law over state laws.

19. Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) Based upon Commerce Clause of the Constitution NY gave Ogden a license to operate a steamboat ferry between NY and NJ. Gibbons also operated steamboats and Ogden took him to court saying that NY had given Ogden exclusive rights. S.C. ruled that Congress had the power to regulate trade that crossed state lines

25. President Monroe feared France or Spain might retake newly independent republics in Latin America. Monroe warned European powers against intervention in the Western Hemisphere In 1823 the United States was incapable of enforcing the Monroe Doctrine, but in time it became a cornerstone of American foreign policy. American nationalism was also reflected in the Monroe Doctrine.

26. p242

32. Monroe’s Doctrine Appraised The doctrine had little practical significance at the time It was an expression of America’s post-1812 nationalist spirit The U.S. did not have the military power to back it up (the British navy was, in fact, what stood between the Americas and the European powers)

33. United States policy toward Florida reflected nationalism. In 1818, Andrew Jackson invaded Florida to fight the Seminole Indians who harbored runaway slaves. Madison’s Secretary of State John Quincy Adams concluded the Adams- Onís Treaty by which the United States purchased Florida from Spain.

36. In 1819, Missouri sought admission as a slave- owning state. Acceptance would upset the balance between free and slave-owning states in the U.S. Senate. A northern proposal to ban slavery as the price of Missouri’s admission caused debate. The slavery debate worried many. Thomas Jefferson likened it to a “fire-bell in the night.” Despite nationalistic feelings, sectional differences remained strong.

37. Maine and Missouri became states together—one free, the other slave. A line was drawn across the territories; any new state south of Missouri’s southern border would be slave, anything north free. Henry Clay averted a crisis with the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Still, Southerners were worried. They blamed the 1822 Denmark Vessey plot on the Missouri debate.
