Good Feelings, Era of

Years: 1815 - 1824

The Era of Good Feelings (1815–24) describes a period in United States political history in which partisan bitterness abates.

The phrase is coined by Benjamin Russell, in the Boston newspaper, Columbian Centinel, on July 12, 1817, following the goodwill visit to Boston of President James Monroe.
