  3. Growing Nationalist Spirit • Many people considered President Monroe’s time in office as the “Era of Good Feelings” because the country was at peace, the economy was growing, and the future looked bright.

  4. The Monroe Doctrine • Feeling confident from its victory in the War of 1812 and hopeful for the future, Monroe declares the United States’ growing prominence in the Western Hemisphere. • The US would not become involved in European affairs, nor would it take sides among them. • The US recognized the newly independent countries in the Western Hemisphere and would not try to dominate them. • The US would not permit any further colonization of the Americas and any attempt by a European country to do would be seen as an act of aggression toward the US.

  5. The Impact of the Monroe Doctrine • Despite not having the military might to back up its bold statement, no one challenged the US. • The US positioned itself as the dominant country in the Western Hemisphere. • The US established a precedent for setting world policy.

  6. The Election of 1824 • The candidates: Johns Quincy Adams from Mass., Henry Clay from Kentucky, John C. Calhoun from South Carolina, and Andrew Jackson from Tennessee. • All had their attributes and all had their devoted supporters which made for a tight race. • Jackson won the most votes in the electoral college but not a majority; thus, the voting would be determined by the House of Representatives.

  7. The Corrupt Bargain • Clay used his influence as Speaker of the House to sway enough votes in the HofR to elect Adams as President, then Adams in turn made Clay Secretary of State. • Jackson’s supporters cried “foul” and vowed to win outright in 1828. • Jackson’s followers split from the Jeffersonian Republicans and became the Democratic-Republicans
