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.

With his election in 1816, James Monroe was determined to follow nationalistic policy and
advance American interest while maintaining peace. Under Monroe, the Treaty of 1818 was
issued and stated that the US and British would share fishing rights off the coast of
Newfoundland, joint occupation of Oregon for 10 years, and setting limits of Louisiana territory
by the 49th parallel With Florida, Spain was having a hard time managing the peninsula
because they had to deal with conflict in South America, so Monroe saw this as an opportunity
to gain Florida. the Florida Purchase Treaty gave the US $5 million in claims to Spanish territory
in the US.

In three bills proposed by Henry Clay, It was decided Missouri entered as a slave state and
Maine entered as a free state, and all states North of the 36th parallel were free states and all
South were slave states. Both Houses passed the bills and in 1820 added his signature to what
became known as the Missouri Compromise. The Missouri Compromise was able to quell the
slavery issue for more than 30 years, which gave the nation the time to mature. All in all, the Era
of Good Feelings was damaged by the storm of sectional controversy over the issue of
slavery, and Americans were torn between nationalism (loyalty to the Union) or sectionalism
(loyalty to one's own region.

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

Definition 8 of 24
Jefferson's foreign policy was to keep America out of foreign affairs and remain neutral in
European conflicts. The first challenge to Jefferson's foreign policy came in 1801 with the
conflict on the North African coast. In the past, both Washington and Adams agreed to pay the
Barbary governments a sum for US ships to be there. The ruler of Tripoli demanded a higher
price and refusing to pay this price, Jefferson sent a small fleet to the Mediterranean to fight in
Tripoli, which lasted four years. The US did not have a victory but they did gain respect and
were offered protection to US vessels in Mediterranean waters.
