 Era of Good Feeling
The period after the conclusion of the War of 1812 was marked by a lower level of concern over potential foreign intervention on the American continent, and a relative consensus over domestic policy illustrated in the lack of partisan factions.
The Era reached its peak in the election of 1820, when President Monroe was re-elected with all but one electoral vote--a vote withheld only due to the voter's concern that George Washington should remain as the sole president elected unanimously.
The Era also saw other divisive issues, including the the enactment of the first U.S. protective tariff and the establishment of the second National Bank, either resolved or deferred.
