Question 7

• Option A: The Erie Canal was completed in 1825, and the Era of Good Feelings was roughly 1815 - 1825, but the main characteristic of the Era of Good Feelings was national unity, not just the canal's completion.
• Option B: The Federalist Party was in decline during this era; the Democratic - Republican Party was dominant.
• Option C: The Era of Good Feelings was marked by a period of national unity and patriotism after the War of 1812, with reduced partisan strife.
• Option D: The War of 1812 (when the US declared war on Britain) ended in 1815, and the Era of Good Feelings followed, so this is not during the era.

• Option A: Republican Motherhood was about women's role in the home as educators of civic values, not factory work.
• Option B: Republican Motherhood emphasized that women, as mothers, should teach their children civic values and republican ideals to ensure the success of the new republic.
