I am not exactly sure how to use several of the documents of my DBQ. I am willing to omit two but I am having a time understanding what they have to do with the topic.
"The end of the War of 1812 and the Era of Good Feeling are often viewed as a time of cultural, economic and political nationalism. To what extent are these views accurate?"
Use the documents and your knowledge of the period 1815-1825 to construct your answer.
Document E is a density population map of 1820.
Document G is a letter from Anna Hayes Johnson in Charleston to her cousin in Raleigh, July 18 1822.
My dear Cousin,
... I suppose that by this time you are anxious to hear more about the unhappy business which has filled with consternation all our city and nothing but the merciful interposition of our God has saved us from horror equal if not superior to the scenes acted in St. Domingo -- The catalogue is not filled up for we thought that it was ended and that the execution of six of the chiefs would suffice. The court has been dismissed and the town was again sinking into its wonted security when information was given that another attempt would be made at such a time, and the state's witness fave information of such a nature as to induce the city council to recall the court, and since that period the alarm has spread most widely, and there are now between 50 and 60 of the leaders in our jail -- It is said that twenty of them have been convicted and sentenced and in all probability the execution will not end under 100, but I was told yesterday that the prisoners had been heard to say that even should there be 500 executed there would be still enough to carry the work into execution.
Document H is from the diary of John Quincy Adams, November 7, 1823.
President [Monroe] was averse to any course which should have the appearance of taking a position subordinate to that of Great Britain, and suggested the idea of sending a special Minister to protest against the interposition of the Holy Alliance... I remarked that the communication recently received from the Russian Minister... afforded a very suitable and convenient opportunity for us to take our stand against the Holy Alliance, and at the same time to decline the overture of Great Britain.
Any help is greatly appreciated. : ]
