The War of 1812 ended many of the problems that had plagued the United States since the Revolution. The nation's independence was confirmed. The long war between Britain and France was over, and with it the need for America to maintain a difficult neutrality. The war had convinced Democratic-Republicans that, for the nation's security, they must protect American industry through tariffs -- taxes on imported goods. The Republicans even chartered a new national bank to control the nation's supply of money, something they had vigorously opposed only twenty years before. The Federalist Party, meanwhile, had discredited itself through its opposition to the war. As Republicans co-opted Federalist positions, the Federalist Party withered away and became essentially extinct outside of New England.
James MonroeJames Monroe presided over the so-called "Era of Good Feelings," but one-party rule masked serious differences of opinion.
In the elections of 1816, the first after the war's end, the Republicans took complete control of the federal government. James Monroe succeeded James Madison as President, and Republicans won 146 of 185 seats (78%) in the House of Representatives. By Monroe's second term in office -- which he won almost unanimously -- the Federalists were reduced to only 4 seats in the U.S. Senate. Monroe's administration, from 1817 to 1825, became known as the "Era of Good Feelings" because there was so little opposition to him or to his policies.
Answer:
The Indian Removal Act
Explanation:
- On May 28, 1830, American President Andrew Jackson ratified the Indian Removal Act. The bill gave the president the power to bargain with Native American tribes in the south (including those in the Mid-Atlantic) about moving to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in return for white colonisation of their ancestral territories.
- The Act was ratified by Andrew Jackson, and throughout his and Martin Van Buren's administrations, which lasted until 1841, it was strictly enforced.
- Native American tribes and the Whig Party opposed the Act, despite the fact that it was strongly backed by southern and northern communities. The Cherokee attempted to halt the removal by working together, but they were unable to.
- Eventually, the American government forcefully took them on the Trail of Tears, which has been compared to an act of genocide because many Native Americans perished during the removals.
