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.

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.

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.

In
McCulloch v. Maryland
(1819)
Marshall asserted
the superiority of federal
law over state laws.
• 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.

American
nationalism
was also
reflected in
the Monroe
Doctrine.
• President Monroe feared France
or Spain might retake newly
independent republics in Latin
America.
• Monroe warned European
monarchies they had no business
in the Americas and promised the
United States would not involve
itself in Europe.
• In 1823 the United States was
incapable of enforcing the Monroe
Doctrine, but in time it became a
cornerstone of American foreign
policy.

Despite nationalistic feelings, sectional
differences remained strong.
• In 1819, Missouri sought admission as a slaveowning 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.”

Henry Clay
averted a
crisis with
the Missouri
Compromise
of 1820.
• 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.
Still, Southerners were worried. They blamed the
1822 Denmark Vessey plot on the Missouri debate.
