may 22, 1817 - Economic Nationalism -Contexulization-

Description:

Prior to Monroe presidency, the Unites states faced economic challenges, including weak banking system, depending on foreign goods, and poor transportation. These problems made it clear that the nation needed policies to promote economic independence and national growth. While nationalism spread throughout the Era of Good Feelings, Americans support for the government strengthened the economy. During Monroe's presidency, Economic Nationalism became good over protective tariffs, the Second Bank of the United Stats, and federal funding for internal improvements, as it reflects Henry Clay American System, all aimed at unifying the economy and promoting growth.
