==End Date of Era of Good Feelings== |

The Era of Good Feelings ending is debated among many professors, as there is not a huge consensus to what historians believe the era ended, this should be changed. This article has many contradictions in it (one place saying it started in 1817, another 1815, and the ending isn't very clear as well. This should be fixed. |

First of all, This article goes to deep into detail, more than necessary. The Era of Good Feelings only describes Monroe's two presidential administrations. The entire paragraph about how George Washington supposedly (not true) was the only one to unanimously vote for the cantidate is not necessary. |

FIRST OFF THERE IS ALREADY A MUCH LONGER AND BETTER WRITTEN ARTICLE WITH THE CORRECT TITLE. SECOND OF ALL " George Washington's record of being the only person to be unanimously elected to the presidency and to come out of the closet on the same day. This era continued until America realised that they were the worst country in the world (and they still are). :(" IS SOMEWHAT BIASED --[[User:Gary123|Gary123]] 01:04, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) |

The word is "Feeling" (singular), not "Feelings" (plural). |

The [[American Bible Society]] was founded in 1816, so there was a religious mood still present in the nation. States' Rights [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]] had not yet been invented in 1816. Slaves and [[free Negroes]] were treated humanely, still. By 1825, all of those things had changed. |

Flint Hill is one of the most prestigious areas in Mississippi today. In the late 1810's this area was settled by French aristocracy who had fled the country of France during the French Revolution. Some of the descendants of the French aristocracy still live in their families plantation homes in this small rich area. |

The "Good Feeling" wasn't ubiquitous amongst the people, though. South Carolinians were still fuming because [[Caleb Strong]], the governor of [[Massachusetts]], had exercised States' Rights to keep his militia out of the [[War of 1812]]. |

[[Robert Y. Hayne]] reminded [[Daniel Webster]] of it in their famous debate in [[Congress]]. |

==Take a broad view== |
|||
'''''The Era of Good Feeling''''' should be thought of as being a brief period of time that separates the more religious colonial era when [[God]] reigned supreme from the time when building a big bank account rose to importance. |

The first savings bank appeared in the United states, either at Philadelphia in 1816, or at New York in 1819. (It was probably at Germantown, Pa. [Philadelphia] in 1816). |

What about the nullification crisis? This article is pitiful. The lack of detail is austounding. There is nothing about John Marshall, or the landmark supreme court cases of the time. Mabuary v. Madinson? Hello! |

: Um. "Marbury v. Madison" happened quite a while earlier during Jefferson's administration. It would be more like Dartmouth College v. Woodward or McCulloch v.

The article does not read well and includes nonessential information. The article could also use a tighter focus. I'm happy to help develop this, but don't wish to step on the toes of anyone who's got a lot invested in this article. [[User:Ezratrumpet|Ezratrumpet]] 16:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC) |

I have a quite a few problems with this article. "[A]n Era of Good Feeling" was the exact phase that Benjamin Russel used. Nowhere in the article is the phase mentioned or put into context. All references are made from a single source and it reads more like a very short book report than an article about a political time-period.

Absolutly. |
|||
I wonder where exactly the article should be taken, though. It refers to Monroe's two terms as president, so the information about the political events occuring during the Era are (or if they aren't, maybe they should be) in the James Monroe article. Should it be more focused on the actual phrase? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.191.244.127|66.191.244.127]] ([[User talk:66.191.244.127|talk]]) 01:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

'''Probable error,''''''Bold text''' near the beginning of the article, there is a reference to the American frigate USS PRESIDENT defeating 3 British frigates off the coast of Ireland. This appears to be greatly exaggerated, the PRESIDENT did encounter British ships in 1813, but one, the Eliza Swan, was only a 300 ton whaling vessel, and the Alert was only a brig of perhaps 16 guns. It seems significant that the article on the USS PRESIDENT makes no reference at all to this battle, which would be very curious if the ship had indeed defeated THREE British ships of the same class <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Guerre1859|Guerre1859]] ([[User talk:Guerre1859|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Guerre1859|contribs]]) 20:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
