The "Era of Good Feelings" was a time period that lasted from 1817 to 1825. This era in the US reflected the unity, purpose and high moral of all Americans after end of the war of 1812.

White employers and the Ku Klux Klan threatened African Americans. Yup, I took US History and learned about this tragic part of the civil rights era.
