Answer: Single-party rule was able to eliminate sectional tension, according to an analysis of the "Era of Good Feelings"' crucial moments. Politics at the time of Jackson's administration tended to place a lot of emphasis on particular politicians who had large followings and catchy nicknames.


Step-by-step explanation:

Americans were proud of their victory in the War of 1812.



It's often been mislabeled as the second war for American independence: the war of 1812 which was fought between the years 1812 and 1815 between the belligerent countries of the United States of America and Great Britain was a war that was controversial in its time and largely forgotten to this day. It began on two front tires; the first frontier was the American frontier west of the Appalachian Mountains, British outposts were allegedly supporting native tribes giving them food, guns and ammunition to fight the American settlers who were moving westward on the second frontier. The Atlantic Ocean American shipping was at risk because the British government was forcing American merchant men to sail into British ports to be taxed on all of their goods even if they weren't doing trade with the British Empire. At this time there was a war raging on the European continent; it was between a coalition of nations and Napoleon Bonaparte's France.



In 1816 James Monroe of the Democratic-Republican Party was elected president almost unanimously. For the first time, the opposing Federalist Party had not nominated a candidate for the presidency. The Federalists had been losing popularity for several years ever since they opposed America's entry into the war of 1812 when Rose Triumphs signaled their final collapse. The Federalists never again took the White House and they began declining and declining and declining. After the war of 1812, the Federalist Party essentially disappeared and for a brief period known as the era of good feeling there was only one party and therefore there was no great political contest. Monroe took advantage of his new spirit of nonpartisan harmony choosing men from both the Democratic-Republican and the Federalist parties to be in his cabinet for Secretary of State, he chose John Quincy Adams a member of the Federalist Party, not Monroe's party. Adams was responsible for the major diplomatic successes of Monroe's administration, the acquisition of Florida from Spain and the famous Monroe Doctrine.
