Building A National Identity
In 1816 the Republicans have a landslide victory:
James Monroe wins the presidential election
Each region has different needs
The West
Represented by Henry Clay from Kentucky
The West needs better roads and canals
This would help to transport goods from region to region
The NorthRepresented by Daniel Webster of Massachusetts
At first, the north opposed high tariffs
However, later they supported the tariffs because it would allow factories to compete with European manufcturers
The SouthRepresented by John C. Calhoun of South Carolina
In the beginning, this region favored national unity
Soon, he began to favor states' rights because the South opposed the tariffs, it was raising the prices of the goods the southerners bought

Please completely answer the questions
below•Why was there such a sense of unity in America at this time?
•Who represents the different regions of America?
•What are their personal interests?
Economic Issues: First Bank of US
the 1st National Bank no longer existed because its charter had run out
This resulted in a bad economy because state banks made too many loans and issued too much money
Solution: 2nd National Bank was created to lend money and control money supply
Economic Issues: Embargo Act causes
Manufacturing IncreaseThe British were trying to keep their business strong by dumping which is a process of selling goods in another country under market price
The tariff of 1816 put a tax on foreign textiles, iron, leather goods, and other products
The south opposed this because it forces southerners to pay more for their goods. It made the northerners rich at the expense of the South
Clay's American System
High tariffs and a federal program of public works
It benefits the Northern regions because it enables the north to buy farm products from the west and the south
Although it allows the south and the west to sell farm products to the northerners, in the long run it would not aid them they opposed
the system
Outcome
It never became a policy
Both President Madison and President Monroe refused to support Clay's projects

Mexico Breaks AwayThe struggle for independence begins in 1810
Father Miguel Hidalgo organizes an army of Native Americans that freed Mexican provinces
It continues through1823 when the monarchy is overthrown
They enforce a new constitution based off the US which makes Mexico a federal republic of 19 states & 4 territories
South & Central American Independence
Simon Bolivar led an army from Venezuela to Columbia over the Andes Mountains
At this time, Central America includes many nations we have today:
Nicaragua
Costa Rica
El Salvador
Honduras
Guatamala
South & Central American Independence
In 1822, Brazil announced their independence from Portugal
The Us recognizes the independence of Mexico and 6 other former colonies
By 1825, most parts of Latin America had gotten rid of European rule
Monroe Doctrine1823
Several European nations including Russia & France indicated they would help Spain regain their colonies
It states the US is determined to protect freedom of the new nations of Latin America.
European nations could not create American colonies or interfere with free nations of Latin America and any attempt to do so would be considered "dangerous to our peace & safety"
Relations with CanadaBefore 1841, Canada was split by upper and lower
parts. the Upper was controlled by the English and the lower by the French
The Act of Union (1841) merged Canada's 2 parts into a single unit governed by Canadian legislature
This gave Canada self-government (right to rule themselves independently)
Britain still had ultimate control though
Our relations with Canada were tense because during the War of 1812 the US tried to invade Canada (unsuccessful)

Please reread section 3 (page 349)
Election of 1824Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and William Crawford all run for President
Jackson receives the most electoral votes, but not the majority vote therefore the House of Representatives must decide
Adams and jackson had received the most votes so the House had to choose between them
Henry Clay was Speaker of the House so he had a great influence
"Corrupt Bargain"The House elects John Quincy Adams on the first ballot
Because Clay put his support behind Adams and then Adams made him Secretary of State, jackson claimed the two men had made a "corrupt bargain"
Jackson was furious that he had won the popular vote and the most electoral votes, but had still lost the election
Voting Increases Tremendously
Many states had dropped the requirements that in order to vote, a man must own property
Now almost all adult white males could vote
Political Parties (AGAIN)
In 1824, the Republican Party splits:
Democratic Party forms by supporters of Jackson
National Republican Party supports John Quincy Adams
Later this party becomes the Whigs
Changing how we choose a Presidential candidate
We change from a caucus which only involves a small group of people
to nominating committees which opened the nominating process to many more people
Benefit: made voting and nominating process more democratic in the US
Conflict Over Land
The Government along with white settlers and the Native Americans are all eager for the land east of the Mississippi River
The government's reasoning:
The Native Americans stood in the way of westward expansion for the United States
White settlers wanted this land because it was fertile and good for growing cotton
Effect: Indian Removal
These policies date back all the way to Thomas Jefferson's presidency
Indian Removal Act of 1830:
This gave Andrew Jackson the authority to offer Native American nations land west of the Mississippi for lands they were living on in the east
