Lesson 60: The Era of Good Feelings

When James Monroe was elected president of the United States, an "an era of good feelings" seemed to follow. 
Things were going well until the Panic of 1819 when the country fell into a depression and left many people unemployed.
The Era of good Feelings seemed to suddenly fade, but even in this time good things came about.
 Protective tariffs were created to boost the economy and keep manufacturing up and running, and America eventually regained it's stability.
