Have you ever heard of the “Era of Good Feelings”? In my eyes, the “Era of Good Feelings” isn’t as good as it seems. From all of these documents A to F, I have discovered that the “Era of Good Feelings” had been given the wrong title. This era was quite the opposite of “good feeling” ; it seemed as though it was being masked. The reason why I agree that this era does not deserve its title is because it seems unfaithful.

From document A I learned that in 1820 people were in unity and agreement about voting in the election. But in 1824, based on the graph, you can clearly see the divide within people. Which led me to believe that this era wasn't very trustworthy. Also in document B, President James Madison also approves of John Calhoun’s idea.
