5268887013Rush-Bagot Agreement(1817): Signed by Britain and the US, established strict limits on naval armaments in the Great Lakes, a first step in the full demilitarization of the US-Canadian border, finalized in the 1870s.5
5268887014Tariff of 1816First protective tariff in US History, created primarily to shield New England manufacturers from the inflow of British goods after the War of 1812.6
5268887015American System(1820s): Henry Clay's three pronged system to promote American industry. Clay advocated a strong banking system, a protective tariff, and a federally funded transportation network.7
5268887016The Era of Good Feelings(1816-1824): Popular name for the period of one-party, Republican, rule during James Madison's presidency. The term obscures bitter conflicts over internal improvements, slavery, and the national bank.8
5268887017The Panic of 1819severe financial crisis brought on primarily by the efforts of the Bank of the United States to curb over-speculation on western lands. It disproportionally affected the poorer classes, especially in the West, sowing the seeds of Jacksonian Democracy.9
5268887018Land act of 1820Fueled the settlement of the Northwest and Missouri territories by lowering the price of public land. Also prohibited the purchase of federal acreage on credit, thereby eliminating on of the causes of the Panic of 1819.10
5268887019Tallmadge Amendment(1819): Failed proposal to prohibit the importation of slaves into Missouri territory and pave the way for gradual emancipation. Southerners opposed this, which they perceived as a threat to the sectional balance between the North and the South.11
5268887020Peculiar institutionWidely used term for the institution of American Slavery in the South. Its use in the first half of the 19th century reflected a growing division in the North, where slavery was gradually abolished, and the South, where slavery became increasingly entrenched.12

5268887029Florida Purchase Territory (Adams-Onis Treaty)(1819): Under the agreement, Spain ceded Florida to the US, which, in exchange, abandoned its claims to Texas.21
5268887030Monroe DoctrineStatement delivered by President James Monroe, warning European powers to refrain from seeking any new territories in the Americas. The US largely lacked the power to back up the pronouncement, which was actually enforced by the British, who sought free access to Latin American markets.22
5268887031Russo-American Treaty(1824): fixed the line of 54.40' as the southernmost boundary of Russian holdings in North America23
5268887032Oliver Hazard PerryAmerican naval officer whose decisive victory over a British fleet on Lake Erie during the War of 1812 reinvigorated American morale and paved the way for General William Henry Harrison's victory at the Battle of the Thames in 1813.24

5268887034James MonroeRevolutionary war soldier, statesman, and 5th president. As president, he supported protective tariffs, and a national bank, but maintained a Jeffersonian opposition to federally funded improvements. Though he sought to transcend partisanship, even undertaking a goodwill tour of the states in 1817, his presidency was rocked by partisan and sectional conflicts.26
