Domestic Issues

    During James Monroe's presidency he handled many domestic issues. First was the Panic of 1819 when all of the people panicked about trading pricing among other things. Monroe did little because he could not do much and be believed that depression was apart of any growing economy  The next was the Mississippi compromise. He declared that in western territories above the 36/30' north latitude line were would all be free states and the Louisiana Territory would all be free. He also came to support the National Road which help transportation and trade.

    During Quincy Adam's presidency he promoted "The American System" and was the cause of "The Tariff Abominations." The American System was the development of roads, canals, bridges a national university and a national astronomical observatory. The therory is that with all of those things our national infrastructure. The "Tariff Abomination" occured in 1828. It had new rates that were particularly restrictive of textile imports and damaging to a market of British manufacturers upon whom southern planters were dependent. The Vice President opposition was so strong, he condemned the tariff and drafted the South Carolina Exposition, which gave the right of a state to reject federal laws that were harmful to state interests.

During Andrew Jackson's presidency he was apart of the Indian Removal Act and Slavery. With the Indian removal act, all Indian tribes were forced to move to Oklahoma. Also, there was a big anti-slavery out breaking. People were sending in petitions to end slavery but they were denied. People who did support slavery panicked and started riots and violent out bursts of their own. During that debate Jackson supported slavery, but he said that the decision was purely political.
