Exam- Main points of Unit 4 (4.3 and 4.4);APUSHAMSCO Questions and Answers
Learning Objective (4.3) Correct-Explain how different regional interests affected debates
about the role of the federal government in the early republic
The Election of James Monroe and the Era of Good Feelings Correct-The Era of Good
Feelings is the time period after the War of 1812 and a spirit of nationalism, optimism, and
goodwill. The victory of James Monroe, a demo-repub, in the presidential election of 1816
was the end of the Federalist party. Despite the name of this period, there were also conflicts
during this time. There were debates over tariffs, the national bank, internal improvements,
and public land sales. Tensions over slavery were increasing, and even a sense of unity among
the Demo-Repubs seemed illusionary due to the party's split just years later. In reality, this era
spans from 1816 up until the Panic of 1819.
Tariff of 1816 Correct-Subsidizing the building of roads and canals along with protecting
budding US industries from European competition were goals of the political movement to
support the national economy. In this period of peace after the war, the government feared
that British goods would be sent to America and hurt American businesses due to the low
tariffs that were levied for the War of 1812. They raised tariffs to protect US manufacturers
from the competition. This was the tariff of 1816 and was the first of many protective tariffs in
the US

AMSCO Questions and Answers
Henry Clay's American System and the Second Bank of the United States Correct-Henry
Clay had an idea for economic growth that he called the American system. His plan consisted
of protective tariffs, a national bank, and internal improvements. Tariffs would promote
internal improvements (roads and canals), the bank would keep the currency flowing. The
Second Bank of America, Hamilton's brainchild, would be chartered in 1816 and Congress
were already on their way to passing protective tariffs. However, Monroe and Madison
opposed spending federal money on roads and canals because there was nothing saying that
he could do that in the constitution. Monroe vetoed many bills for internal improvements and
most states were left to make internal improvements on their own.
The Panic of 1819 Correct-Economic panic caused by the Second Bank tightening credit to
control inflation and a decline of European demand for American goods. This caused a lot of
unemployment, imprisonment for debt, and bankruptcies. Many people's nationalistic beliefs
were shaken and it changed the political outlook of many voters. Westerns, who were hit the
hardest by this crisis, called for land reform and the ending of debtor prisons. This is often
cited as the end of the Era of Good Feelings.
