Answer:

President Monroe decided to travel throughout the country to encourage the nation’s optimism. He even traveled to New England—Federalist country. Even there he was well received. The Columbian Centinel, a Boston newspaper, spoke of the “era of good feelings” that had arrived in the nation. This phrase would come to characterize the period from 1816 to 1819. Amazingly, the Era of Good Feelings ended abruptly. Things changed quickly, and the “good feelings” were soon over.
