War Hawks were people who advocated war with Great Britain. In addition to protecting trading rights and western settlements, these leaders hoped that war would produce land gains for the US in both British Canada and Spanish Florida.

Conflicts with Great Britain over trade rights left many in the US believing that war was the only way to protect American shipping rights. Settlers on the frontier also blamed the British for encouraging the Native Americans to resist westward expansion. While the British naval blockade of the U.S. coast was a success, the land warfare was a draw. The U.S. initially tried repeatedly to invade Upper Canada with no success; the British launched multiple invasions that were beaten back.

Unaware that a the Treaty of Ghent has been signed ending the war, the Battle of New Orleans was actually fought after the war had technically ended. Andrew Jackson’s troops, though greatly outnumbered, defeated the British. The US forces suffered only 8 deaths with the British suffered over 700. The victory gave people in the US great pride and made Andrew Jackson a national hero.

This treaty ended the war of 1812 without presenting any real gains for either side. It basically returned to each side the territory it had possessed before the beginning of hostilities and said nothing about the impressments of sailors or the rights of the “neutrals.”

was a mercantilist economic plan based on the ideas of Alexander Hamilton. consisting of a high tariff to support internal improvements such as road-building, and a national bank to encourage productive enterprise and form a national currency. This program was intended to allow the United States to grow and prosper, by providing a defense against the dumping of cheap foreign products, mainly at the time from the British Empire.

Among the most important internal improvements created under the American System were the Erie Canal and the Cumberland Road.

The war of 1812 proved to be a point of great contention between the Federalists and those who favored the war. Things got so heated, in fact, that the Federalists from New England held a convention in Hartford Connecticut. Although some of the delegates wanted to secede from the Union, the convention instead decided to send “ambassadors” to Washington. Unfortunately for the Federalists, their representatives arrived as news reached the capital about the US victory at New Orleans. The embarrassment about this ill timed protest ended the federalist party as a political entity.

In 1817, conflict arose between white settlers and Native Americans along the Georgia-Flordia frontier. The president ordered military leader Andrew Jackson to put an end to the fighting. Jackson used this excuse to invade Spanish Florida. The treaty was signed with Spain that gave all of Florida to the US, defined the western border of the Louisiana territory, ceded Spain’s claims to the Oregon Territory to the US, and surrendered US claims on Texas to the Spanish.

With the end of the War of 1812 and the Federalist Party, the United States entered a period of national pride and political unity known as the Era of Good Feelings. It was during this period that President James Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. It stated that the US world not tolerate European intervention in the affairs of any independent nation in the Americas. It also stated that the American continents were no longer open to colonization from European powers. Finally it promised that the United States would neither interfere in the internal affairs of other countries in the Americas.

The Missouri Compromise was an agreement passed in 1820 between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States Congress, involving primarily the regulation of slavery in the western territories. It prohibited slavery in the former Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36°30' north except within the boundaries of the proposed state of Missouri. It was designed to maintain the balance of power between slave and free states in Washington, DC.

was the first major financial crisis in the United States. It resulted in widespread foreclosures, bank failures, unemployment, and a slump in agriculture and manufacturing. It marked the end of the economic expansion that had followed the War of 1812.

The state of Maryland had attempted to impede operation of a branch of the Second Bank of the United States by imposing a tax on all notes of banks not chartered in Maryland.

This fundamental case established the following two principles:

1. The Constitution grants to Congress implied powers for implementing the Constitution's express powers, in order to create a functional national government.

2. State action may not impede valid constitutional exercises of power by the Federal government.

The political bitterness declined because the Federalists had largely dissolved and were no longer attacking the president, then causing an era of good feeling because there was only one political party. The nation was politically united behind the Democratic-Republican Party. The Era of Good Feelings started after the War of 1812.

In the U.S. presidential election of 1824, none of the candidates were able to secure the required number of the electoral vote, thereby putting the outcome in the hands of the House of Representatives, which (to the surprise of many) elected John Quincy Adams over rival Andrew Jackson. Henry Clay, the Speaker of the House at the time, convinced Congress to elect Adams. Adams then made Clay his Secretary of State. Some people believe that an agreement was made ahead of time between the two, denounced by the defeated Jackson (who won a plurality of the popular as well as the greatest number of electoral votes) as a "corrupt bargain."

was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the power to regulate interstate commerce was granted to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.

(also known as a patronage system) is an informal practice where a political party, after winning an election, gives government jobs to its voters as a reward for working toward victory, and as an incentive to keep working for the party.

Jackson openly allowed his friends and supporters to occupy high positions in government. This system ultimately led to corruption and a call for reform in later administrations because people were being promoted not on their ability but on who they new or how much money they donated.

was a protective tariff passed by the U.S. Congress. It was labeled the "Tariff of Abominations" by its southern detractors because of the effects it had on the Antebellum southern economy. The goal of the tariff was to protect industry in the northern United States from having to compete with European goods by increasing the prices of European products because imported goods were much cheaper than the ones that were made in the U.S.

also known as Calhoun's Exposition, was written in 1828 by John C. Calhoun, the Vice President of the United States under Andrew Jackson. The document was a protest against the Tariff of 1828, also known as the Tariff of Abominations. The document stated that if the tariff was not repealed, South Carolina would secede. Calhoun used the idea of nullification, started by the Virginia and Kentucky resolution, to say that a state had the right to ignore a federal law if the state thought the law went against the Constitution.

Senator Henry Clay proposed a compromise that both sides could accept. Clay’s compromise ended the South Carolina nullification crisis, but the issues of states’ rights and secession remained alive until the end of the Civil War.

was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson. The Removal Act was strongly supported in the South, where states were eager to gain access to lands inhabited by the "Five Civilized Tribes". While Indian removal was, in theory, supposed to be voluntary, in practice great pressure was put on American Indian leaders to sign removal treaties. This act led to the Trail of Tears.

President Jackson had always opposed a national bank and had no plans to renew its charter when it expired in 1836. Knowing this, his political enemies convinced the bank to apply for renewal four year early, thus making the national ban the key issue of the election of 1832. Jackson successfully portrayed the bank as existing only to aid the rich and powerful. Jackson won the election he then ordered all government funds removed fro the national bank and put in selected state banks or “pet banks.”

is a degrading term for state banks selected by the U.S. Department of Treasury to receive surplus government funds in 1833, when President Andrew Jackson "killed" the Second Bank of the United States. The term implied that the state banks were controlled by Jackson. By 1836 there were 23 "pet banks" or state banks with US Treasury funds. The term gained currency because most of the banks were chosen not because of monetary fitness but on the basis of the spoils system, which rewarded political allies of Andrew Jackson.
