Chapter 7- Balancing Nationalism and
Sectionalism 1812-1838
Let’s look at the preview questions:
1. How do you think new inventions of the Industrial Revolution might further divide North and South?
2. Predict what types of things might have been done to lessen tensions.
3. Are there still tensions between different regions? What are they?
The Industrial Revolution
The North: becomes more industrialized The Lowell Factory – Lowell, MA exemplified the changes brought on by the
Indust. Revolution Booming manufacturing center, textiles Opportunities for women
The North
Farmers in the North had little motivation to use slaves. crops did not require as much labor to grow,
had smaller farms many began to speak out against slavery Most northern states abolish slavery by 1804
The North
The Cotton Gin: patented by Eli Whitney in 1793
Turned much of the South into a “Cotton Kingdom”
Effect on slavery? Increases from 700,000 to 1,200,000 from
1790-1810
The South
James Madison tries to unite the country Proposes a plan to tie all regions together
through transportation, tariffs, and a national bank
Henry Clay calls it the American System
The American System
Early forms of railroad to connect the regions of the country
National Road built in 1811. Eventually extends from Maryland to Illinois.
Erie Canal (completed in 1825) connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes
The National Road and Erie Canal
Tariff of 1816 American products more expensive than
foreign goods Protective tariff placed on foreign goods
Northern Reaction: + Southern Reaction: -
Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun helped gain support for the tariff
The “Era of Good Feelings”
National Bank: Second Bank of United States (BUS) create a nationally accepted currency Reception less divided Would make trade easier in different regions
James Monroe elected in 1816- the “Era of Good Feelings”
The “Era of Good Feelings”
Robert Fulton’s steamboat-1807 150 miles up the Hudson in 32 hours Method of transportation spread quickly to
different regions Helped unite economic life of the North and
South
Section 2- Nationalism at Center Stage
Marshall Court John Marshall, a Federalist, was
appointed by John Adams in 1801 and served as Chief Justice for 34 years.
He transformed nationalistic ideas into court decisions, which increased federal power and aided economic development.
Marshall elevated the prestige of the Supreme Court and strengthened its power
The Supreme Court Boosts National Power
Gibbons v. Ogden 1824-Supreme Court Case Aaron Ogden- worked for Fulton’s steamboat
service Claimed only he could run a steamboat
service on the Hudson Thomas Gibbons began running a steamboat
service- Ogden sues and takes him to court Court rules with Gibbons-interstate
commerce could only be regulated by fed. Government
Long term- government can regulate ANYTHING that crosses state lines.
Supreme Court Boosts National Power
McCulloch v Maryland 1819-Supreme Court Case Maryland had levied a high tax on the local branch
of the National Bank of the U.S.- hoped to make it fail
Court ruled against Maryland and claimed the National Bank to be constitutional. One of many cases that strengthened the federal government.
Chief Justice John Marshall(in office 1801-1835)
Supreme Court Boosts National Power
Nationalism National interests should be placed ahead of
regional concerns and foreign interests. Strongly supported by President James Monroe
and Secretary of State John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams
Nationalism helps shape foreign policy
“Nationalism is the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labeled 'good' or 'bad‘”-George Orwell
He goes on to make the differentiation between “nationalism” and “patriotism.” Patriotism, Orwell states, is harmless. It is a love of native culture, and the patriot has no need to impose that culture on others. But history is indeed littered with examples of triumphal nationalism, the notion of the nation as a claim to superiority.
Nationalism vs. Patriotism
Nationalism- Good or Bad?
Somewhere in between?
Talk to your partner about this.
Nationalism
John Quincy Adams- Sec. of State Accomplishments
Rush-Bagot Treaty, 1817- U.S. and Canada demilitarize their common border.
Convention of 1818- compromised with Britain to jointly rule Oregon territory, moved U.S. border at the 49th parallel up to the Rocky Mountains
Adams-Onis Treaty 1819- Spain, too weak to manage colonies, cedes Florida to the U.S. and gave up claims to Oregon Territory
Territory and Boundaries
Territory and Boundaries
Developments in Europe lead to interests in Latin American colonies by European nations.
The Monroe Doctrine 1823 Message to Congress by President Monroe Warns European nations not to interfere with
affairs in the Western Hemisphere U.S. would consider such action “dangerous
to our peace and safety.” The U.S. would not interfere in European affairs or existing colonies.
The Monroe Doctrine 1823
Westward Expansion 1817-1830s Americans headed to the Northwest Territory
(Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan) Most went for economic gains
GO WEST!
The Missouri Compromise-1820 When population of a territory reached
60,000 its people could petition for statehood
In 1819, there were 11 free states and 11 slave states
Missouri petitions for statehood in 1819- slave or free?
Hostilities between North and South over Missouri
Henry Clay proposes the Missouri Compromise:
1. Maine- admitted as a free state; Missouri- slave state 2. 36 30’ line established for Louisiana Territory-slavery legal south of the line ; illegal north of the line except Missouri
The Missouri Compromise
Discuss with your partner how the Missouri Compromise was a victory for both the North and South. Predict how the compromise could lead to future problems.
