Maryland to Potomac to Wheeling, Virginia and to the Ohio, which was from 1811 to
1818

From 1830-40 other places wanted to extend the canal systems like Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois.
However, the boom ended because most of the waterways were unprofitable.





Technology improvements:




Steel or iron plows
Grain cradle was more useful than a scythe was for harvest
New crops, grasses and livestock were introduced
Staple crops like wheat remained in the North

problem and continue to grow as a problem in older regions
As regions specialized in crops

new market systems emerge
use of credit
Crucial element in this system

second Bank of the United
States in 1816 to check on
state banks by forcing them
to resume specie payments

lead to the panic of 1819. In
other words a financial
panic that led to a
depression.

Production changed the course of capitalist activity in the regions.
Early Industrialism (Cont.)
 Cities



In the 1800s the nation was more of a rural state.
Then as Canals, industry, factories, and banks formed, soon the city life-style spread
like wildfire with the expansion.
Canals mainly helped out through transport of people.
 Era of Good Feeling



People’s sense of nationalism was beginning to take place in the United States.

 Monroe Doctrine:



December 3, 1823
It prevents any further colonization of European powers in the Americas.
In Return the U.S. will not part take in internal European affairs.
 So America had a chance to prosper but, with caution to remember that Europe
still has no true acknowledgement of America .
Court Cases
 John Marshall was the Chief of Justice for All three of these cases.

Dartmouth College v. Woodward:



McCulloch v. Maryland:




In 1819, the court was to decide if Hampshire legislature had right to convert Dartmouth from private
to state university.
The ruling was that privately own businesses are protected, but anything related to the state was of
their own choosing.
In 1819 Maryland levied a tax on Baltimore branch Bank.
The issue here was the establishment of a bank and if a state had the right to tax.
In the end some powers were implied but overall the government is the one to oversee these issues.
Gibbons v. Ogden:



The control of interstate commerce was rightfully for the congress however the right to protect private
matters was important as well.
It also shows Marshall’s decision making, and made the federal government broaden its powers at the
expense of the states.
This would lead to a nationwide capitalist country.
