CULTURAL NATIONALISM New group of voters: YOUNG Past politicians concerns: Europe New politicians concerns: Expansion SURGE OF PATRIOTISM Paintings of revolutionaries Noah Webster’s Spelling book

ECONOMIC NATIONALISM Post War of 1812: Great Britain sends cheap goods into the US; threatens US companies Does this sound familiar? Tariff of 1816 1 st Protective Tariff—created to protect US businesses Usually opposed but passed because of NATIONALISM

ECONOMY: “AMERICAN SYSTEM” PROPOSAL ACTION 1. Protective Tariff 2. National Bank 3. Road / Canal Building 1. Tariff adopted 1816 Helps manufacturing, set at 2025% 2. Bank of US in 1816 Provides currency 3. Internal Improvements Promotes growth National (Cumberland) Road Erie Canal (1817/1825)

ECONOMIC NATIONALISM The Second National Bank First charter expired 1811; Banks free to print their own money (disaster!) 1816, Congress est. 2 nd National Bank; many opposed to using money for internal improvements Transportation Bill: Congress wants to federal fund roads Vetoed by Monroe and states pick it up

PANIC OF 1819 Fault of the 2 nd National Bank Tightened credit to control inflation: failed! Land speculation out of control in the West Deteriorated relations w/ European Trade Banks close, money deflates, unemployment, bankruptcies, and imprisonment for debt!

REVIEW List and explain 2 examples of events that strengthened nationalism in the United States during the Era of Good Feelings

DIPLOMATIC NATIONALISM Rush-Bagot Treaty 2. Adam-Onis Treaty 3. Monroe Doctrine 1. DECISION MAKERS President: Monroe Sect. of State: JQA Advisor: Jefferson

RUSH-BAGOT TREATY Treaty of Ghent: unresolved issues in Canada 1817: 1 st year of presidency Disarmament Pact signed called the Rush-Bagot Treaty Limited naval arming on Great Lakes Longest unfortified boundary in the world

JACKSON INVADES FLORIDA 1818: Spain still has control of Florida US runaway slaves escape to Spanish Florida Native Americans retreat to Spanish Florida Creek Indians travel to Florida to regroup and plan a new strategy for attack on Georgia call themselves “Seminoles” meaning runaways John C Calhoun, now Secretary of War to Monroe, authorizes military action against the Seminoles

ADAMS-ONIS TREATY Jackson goes to Florida for the Seminoles Destroys a few cities and removing the Governor (oops) Spain is angry, Monroe is angry Secretary of State JQA defends Jackson, claiming Spain wasn’t keeping order in Florida Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819: Spain gives all of Florida to the United States Est. border between U. S. and “New Spain” (aka Mexico)

MONROE DOCTRINE Spain’s colonies being to revolt 1824: Spain only has 3 island colonies left Restoration of monarchies post-Napoleon European nations of Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia form the “Quadruple Alliance” Suppress democracy in Europe Also wants to help Spain get back lost colonies Should America be worried? READ M. D.

MONROE DOCTRINE, EXPLAINED 1. Western Hemisphere was closed to further European exploration 2. US would not interfere with existing colonies under European power 3. The US would not interfere with internal affairs of any European power 4. Any attempt by Europe to intervene would be regarded as an act of aggression

SIGNIFICANCE? How does the Monroe Doctrine impact American and European involvement in worldly affairs? 1. Proved nationalism in US yet again 2. America is officially becoming a world power 3. Isolation policy in effect 4. US can exert its influence without European interference…

REVIEW WITH A PARTNER Using Chapter 7 Section 2, explain the summary and significance of each event: Mc. Culloch v. Maryland Gibbons v. Ogdon Rush-Bagot Treaty Adams-Onis Treaty Monroe Doctrine

Nationalism to Sectionalism A CHANGING NATION

REVIEW QUESTIONS What factors promoted a surge of nationalism post War of 1812? What was Henry Clay’s “American System” and how did it introduce economic nationalism? Explain the irony concerning the Republican Agenda as it relates to the Federalist period. The Adams-Onis Treaty resulted in the US gaining what territory and from who? What major ideas did the US establish with the Monroe Doctrine?

POPULATION BOOM 1800 -1825: Population Doubles. Why? High birthrate Immigrants from GB and Germany (1830 s) African American and Native American population growth Rapid urban and western expansion

GROWTH OF INDUSTRY Mechanical Inventions: patent laws provide incentives to created new machinery Interchangeable parts; Whitley and Cotton Gin Corporations raise $$$: businesses can now sell shares of stock Factory System: stolen British factories + embargo + War of 1812 = growth of new factories New England emerges as leading manufacturing center; Samuel Slater: textile factories Labor and Unions Lowell, MA: textile mills grow thanks to women and children working; then immigrants Artisans can’t compete; argue to shorten working days to 10 hrs

CONNECTING THE NATION Transportation Boom Efficient networking: Roads! 1820 s: most of the country’s big cities are connected Canals: Erie Cana completed in 1825 connects N. E. to the West; all major lakes and rivers connected by mid 1830 s Steamboats: shipping and travel is cheaper Railroads: late 1820/30 s; a new way to carry goods long distances

TRANSPORTATION Fill in your chart on Industry/Transportati on using Chp 3 Sec. 1 -2 in the ORANGE textbook

NATIONALISM TO SECTIONALISM Nationalism MATH PROBLEM: Growth of Cities Industrialization + Development of Capitalism INTERDEPENDENCE (farmers feed workers, workers provide goods) Sectional Problems? Regional differences: fast changing economy presents regional distinctions Women: getting jobs, but still legal and political restrictions Econ/Social Movement: gap between rich and poor growing Slavery: entrenched in the cotton industry

REASONS TO GO WEST? 1. New Land: provided after Native Americans were driven from lands 2. Economy: embargo and war in North East, new soil needed in South 3. Transportation: new roads to reach frontier 4. Immigrants: Europeans coming over; cheaper lands in the West FUTURE PROBLEMS ?

NEW QUESTIONS/ISSUES Focus on the West… West=small populations Western politicians: where do their loyalties lie? Western States Support: 1. Easy Credit from state banks 2. Land made available at a low price 3. Improved transportation 4. WHAT ABOUT SLAVERY?

REGIONAL SECTIONALISM North Ø Industrial Northeast (New England) Ø Organized labor Ø Free African Americans Ø New Cities Ø Immigration South Ø Agriculture and King Cotton Ø The “Peculiar Institution” Ø Free African Americans vs. White Society Ø Southern Thought West Ø Native Americans Ø The Frontier Ø Women’s roles Ø Environmental damage

SECTIONALLISM (n): restriction of interest to a narrow sphere; concern with local/regional interests or distinctions at the expense of general (national) well-being. What are some causes of sectionalism in the U. S. at this time? Make a prediction: Regional Disputes-land differences, slavery Protective Tariff/Second Bank Disputes Internal Improvements-roads, canals, etc

SECTIONALISM As Americans start to expand, there is a fragile balance of power between slave states and free states. When new states enter the union, we want to maintain the balance… Missouri Compromise

MISSOURI COMPROMISE BREAK DOWN Applied to enter the union as a SLAVE state Pre-Missouri: Slave States=11, Free States=11 Addition of a Slave State would give South control of Senate (North already had the house because of population) Slavery Issue: “like a firebell in the night”-TJ As president…what do you do?

THE COMPROMISE Henry Clay Maine is separated from Mass. to become a Free State Missouri enters as a Slave State All territory NORTH of 36, 30’ parallel is closed to slavery

LIKE A FIREBELL IN THE NIGHT Passed in 1820 Prohibits slavery NORTH of the parallel 36, 30’ north, except in the new state of Missouri This will not be permanent, “just a band aid on a gunshot wound”
