Was "The Era of Good Feelings" an accurate name for the period between the War of 1812 and the rise of Andrew Jackson? Why or why not?
The term áçthe Era of Good Feelingáè was first posted in a Boston newspaper, which impressed, James Monroe, the new American President's warm reception in Boston. The entire society was very anxious to turn back into a normal life when the War of 1812 ended; as a result, the term implied President's good-will tour through the North. Actually, the term "the Era of Good Feelingáè described the atmosphere of the United States from 1815 to 1825.
After the War of 1812, the period was named as a lower level of concern over potential foreign intervention on America. Moreover in 1816, the Federalists not only lost many seats in the Congress the Party also became disorganized and messy. The Federalists did not even nominate a candidate to fight against the Democratic lead by Republican President James Monroe in 1820.
