John Marshall
Marshall Court Under John Marshall, the Supreme Court favored a strong federal government and a nation economy. He was Cheif Justice from 1801-1835. He put many Federalist principles to interpret the Constitution. He kept pushing for the Marshall Court to be above state law. The case involved the renewed Bank of the United States which were then reestablished in 1816. Over all, Marshall's Court encouraged the development of large businesses. -
Expiration
Clay favored a reestablishment of a national bank. The charter for the first bank of the U.S. expired in 1811. This Charter was made during Washington's adminstration.This had freed private and state banks from being unable to print their own money. With all the banks printing money, there wasn't certainty about the value of the dollar. -
Renew
Bank The Marshall Court that the federal law be above the state law. This was shown in the McCulloch v. Maryland case. It was the renewed Bank oof the United States. When reestablished in 1816, branches were put across the country thus threatening the state and local banks. The Marshall Court denied the states options of trying to counter the banks and no state could destroy a bank with taxes. -
Industry
Henry Clay The Tariff was a good example of an economic policy. This Policy really promoted the growth of industry. When people acceped the protective tariff, Republicans betrayed the principles they had before. They withdrew the federal power, supported agriculture, and preffered trade not harassed by tariffs. These people now use the federal power to help industrialists and the workers. -
Boston Newspaper
Old Boston Newspaper Newspapers in Boston describe pollitics as entering an "era of good feelings.". The Democratic Party operated almost without hesitation. This led to James Madison winning the reelection as President by receiving almost nearly all of the electoralvotes cast. Then all around the country, a spirit of nationalism came over everyone. -
The Missouri Compromise
Primary Source The difficulty of nationalism failing to suppress regional differences in the U.S. became obvious over Missouri's acceptance to the Union as a new state. The time they wanted to join was when they had an equal amount of free and slave states. Missouri joining would favor the South. They wanted to ban slavery in it so they can join but an outrage came about after that anouncement. -
Slavery and the Missouri Compromise
Nationalism failed to cover up regional differences in the United States. These diffferences made it hard to govern the nation. In 1819, Missouri attempted to join the Union. At the time, they had an equal number of free and slave states. So in order for them to join they had ban slavery and thus angering the the southern leaders. -
U.S. Gains Territories
Gains
Americans persuaded Spain to sell Florida to the United States. They were previously pressured to give the land up in 1818 by the Seminoles who were an American Indian group from an area covering both Georgia and Florida governed by Spain. -
Ratification
Primary Source 2 The Spanish control over Florida was really weak but Jackson wasn't told to act against them. The Adams-Onis Treaty ended the Spanish claims to the large Pacific Coast territory of Oregan. Britain also claimed Oregon but they agreed to share the land.After the treaty, Americans started to settle in Florida and traded fur in Oregon. -
Threatening
White people living in the south felt insulted and threatened by the northern attacks on their region's reliance on slavery. They blamed the Missouri debates for instigating Denmark Vessey to want to organize a slave revolt.Vessey was a freeman wanting to help free other slaves. Before his plan could unravel, they discovered his plan and hung him along with 34 others in on it. -
Gibbons vs. Ogden
Case Marshall rejected a steamboat monopoly by the state of New York. The monopoly put the steamboat business in danger. Marshall ruled that steamboat traffic was commerce and that the the power to control the commerce was supposed to involve more than one state. His court favored big business corporations by freeing them from the states. -
Panics Arise
Panic There were three great panics between 1815 and 1860. This is because of the "boom and bust" cycle. At the bust part of this cycle in capitalism prices fall and producers cut back production causing people to get fired. Due to these panics, thousands of factory workers lost their jobs. This also hurt farmers and planters as well because demand fell for their grain and cotton. -
Monroe Doctrine
Doctrine Monroe published a written doctrine saying that Europe monarchies had no business messing with American Republics. In return for them not messing with them, the United States agreed to stay out of European affairs. But this doctrine meant nothing when it came out because the Americans didn't have the army or navy to enforce it.
