Although there were some positive aspects of the "Era of Good Feelings" to a greater

Extent, sectionalism became more prominent than nationalism.

Although there were no party conflicts after the War of 1812, the "Era of Good Feelings" was not an accurate label for this period of history, as it was primarily a time of sectionalism. The emergence of sectionalism can be seen through the conflicts over the Second National Bank, issues over expansion, and internal improvements.

Although during the Era of Good Feelings there were aspects of unity, There was a greater feeling of sectionalism. Sectionalism was shown in the issues in slave versus free states, the Second National Bank, and issues of reforming America.

Although the country joined together to build roads and canals, the "Era of Good Feelings" is an inaccurate label for the period of history, as it was primarily a time of significant sectionalism. This emergence of sectionalism can be seen through the re-emergence of different political parties by 1824, the issue of whether or not Congress had the right to establish a second National Bank, and the Sectionalist feelings acquired by the South.

Although the absence of political party conflicts promoted nationalism, the era of good feelings is an inaccurate label for the time period and issues such as state vs. federal power, the presidential election of 1824, and taxation and tariffs support the claim that sectionalism was more present.

Although the era of good feelings was a time of cooperation, innovation and equality, to a greater extent growing undertones of sectionalism caused discord and threatened a future split between the American north and south.

Although there were no significant issues between political parties the "Era of Good Feelings" is an inaccurate label for the period of history after the War of 1812, as it was a time of significant sectionalism. This emergence of sectionalism can be best seen through the imergence of the national bank, the tariff of 1816, and the growth of the nation farther west.
