Which president is most associated with the Era of Good Feeling?

(A) John Adams

(B) Th omas Jeff erson

(C) Andrew Jackson

(D) James K. Polk

(E) James Monroe

The correct answer is E. James Monroe is the US president most associated with the Era of Good Feeling. It was the a period in the political history of the United States that reflected a sense of national purpose and a desire for unity among Americans after the Napoleonic Wars. The period is so closely associated with Monroe's presidency (1817-1825) and his administrative goals that his name and the era are virtually synonymous. The phrase Era of Good Feelings was coined by Benjamin Russell, in the Boston Federalist newspaper Columbian Centinel.
