C. Patriotism and loyalty; It was a benefactor for the civil war and was a main theme of the civil war
The Egyptians and Mayans both used symbols to convey meaning in written language. However, the similarity pretty much stops there. This is remarkable, though, considering the fact that these cultures – millennia and worlds apart – developed similar writing systems.
The Egyptian hieroglyphics didn’t have punctuation and they were written in long lines of script. They were found on everything from paper, to stone, to jewelry. Reading the glyphs, you go from left to right. Egyptian glyphs are divided into phonograms - representing sounds and ideograms - representing ideas or objects.
The Mayans’ system used picture blocks to convey meaning. Their glyphs were mostly on stone. Reading the glyphs is very different from reading Egyptian glyphs. You go left to right and read a “pair” of glyphs and then go down to the next line and read the next pair. They form a sort of a zig-zag pattern. Thus, if reading, you would read block 1A, then block 1B. Then you go to the next line and read 2A, then block 2B. Mayan glyphs are divided into logograms to express meaning or syllabograms to represent sounds.
You seem to be giving a statement more than asking a question, but the period you describe ran from about 1815 to 1825, and is most closely associated with the presidency of James Monroe.
The phrase "Era of Good Feelings" was coined by a journalist, Benjamin Russell, in the Boston newspaper, <em>Columbian Centinel</em>, on July 12, 1817. Russell used that term to describe the new era taking shape, especially as Monroe's presidency began, after Monroe visited Boston as part of a goodwill tour of the US. President Monroe certainly went along with the description and was trying to evoke that "good feelings" sort of mood in the country. Historians see "The Era of Good Feelilngs" as having begun around 1815, after the War of 1812 and the end of Napoleon's wars in Europe, when the United States entered an era when it could focus on its own affairs and not need to be concerned about political and military happenings in Europe. The "Era of Good Feelings" is strongly associated with Monroe's two-term presidency, from 1817 to 1825. President Monroe made goodwill tours of the country in 1817 and 1819 to promote national pride and national unity.
I am pretty sure it was the Ming dynasty
