Answer:

The correct answer is (b) It made national unity more difficult

Step-by-step explanation:

The era of Good feelings started in 1815, Due to the conclusion of Napoleonic Wars, The citizen's of American were not bothered on the issues of the military affairs and European politics.

This attitude in the 20th century was known as isolationism. The good feelings, perhaps better called complacency, were determined by two scenarios of 1816, during the past year of The James Madison presidency,the passing of the first U.S. protective tariff and the with creation of the second National Bank.
