Era of Good Feelings DBQ

Students analyze 17 documents (11 text based and 6 visual), answer 17 historical context questions, complete a sorting chart, and write a DBQ essay to review the Era of Good Feelings. There are 7 essay prompts for students to choose from (one allows for the class or teacher to make one of their own). The answers are included where appropriate and the initial analysis part would be great for a sub! ***Some of the sourcing is generalized so that students have to place it in the historical context/event themselves.***

Sample questions include:
--Identify a reason some Americans supported the American System, and a criticism of it. Does Document 4 more support or more criticize it?
--Why might Jefferson have chosen the phrase, “firebell in the night” in referencing the Missouri Compromise and slavery? 
--Explain the purpose, or intentions of, the Cumberland/National Road.
--Does Document 12 support the Missouri Compromise, why or why not?
--How does Document 13 reflect the “Era of Good Feelings?”
--Summarize the causes and effects of Document 15’s Supreme Court Case.
