Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Nationalism.

A feeling of nationalism developed in the United States after the War of 1812.

The victories of the US forces in major battles of the 1812 War , particularly in New Orleans (fought after the signing of the peace treaty of Ghent), made Americans proud and joyful.  Peace was welcomed and Americans had a great feeling that they had resisted the power of the British Empire again. The 1812 War is called a "Second Independence War" by some. It fostered a firmer sense of national conciousness. The postwar period led to the Era of Good Feelings in American politics. By going to war over its rights, the nation made sure that it was going to receive proper treatment as an independent nation in the world.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

1. Individual states' rights

2. Low tariffs

3. Secession

2. The South produced many crops such as cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco. Foreign trade was crucial to the southern economy, so they favored low tariffs to keep foriegn goods cheap and to foster trade with other countries.

3. The Confederacy felt that it had the right to secede, or leave, the United States to form their own nation. They felt that the northern states had treated them unfairly by their imposition of high tariffs and opposition to slavery, therefore, it was time to create their own country.
