Why is Wasn't Actually so Good

One reason as to why this wasn't really an era of good feeling all around was the economical situation in the North was great, but not so much in south. Because of the large plantations and farms being grown in the south the soil began to dry up and become infertile. This indicates that the economy down there came from agriculture and crops, rather that industrial. This implies sectionalism.

James Monroe

The Age of Good Feelings marked a period in the political history of the United States that reflected a sense of national purpose and a desire for unity among Americans after the War of 1812. The era saw the collapse of the Federalist Party and a end to the bitter partisan disputes between him and the dominant Democratic-Republican Party during the First Party System.

Era of Good Feelings

James Monroe. As president, James Monroe was expected to facilitate a rapprochement of political parties to harmonize the country in a common national perspective, rather than the interests of the parties. Both parties urged him to include a federalist in his cabinet to symbolize the new era of "unity" that permeated the nation.

The most perfect expression of the Era of Good Feelings was Monroe's goodwill tour across the country in 1817 and 1819. His visits to New England and the federalist stronghold of Boston, Massachusetts, in particular, were the most important of the tour . Here, the descriptive phrase "Era of Good Feelings" was granted by a local federal newspaper.

Citizens Part 2

American citizens could afford to pay less attention to European political and military affairs. The predominant attitude was what in the 20th century was known as isolationism. The good feelings, perhaps better described as complacency, were stimulated by two events of 1816, during the last year of the presidency of James Madison: the establishment of the first declared protection tariff of the USA, and the creation of the second National Bank.

Events

Monroe's country-wide good-will tour in 1817 and 1819:

The president's physical appearance, the wardrobe and the personal attributes of the president were decisive to awaken good feelings on the tour. He put on an officer's uniform of the Revolutionary War and tied his long powdered hair in a tail according to the antiquated style of the eighteenth century. However, despite his formality, he had the unusual ability to put people at their ease by his courtesy, lack of condescension, his frankness, and what his contemporaries looked upon as the essential goodness and kindness of heart that he always radiated. Monroe's visit to Boston provoked a great outpouring of nationalist pride and expressions of reconciliation. The New England federalists were especially eager to prove their loyalty after the crushing blow that the federalist received at the Hartford Convention in 1814-1815.
