CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

• Characterize the four components of the Madisonian Platform—the uniformity system, banking reform, tariff protection, and internal improvements—and discuss how each was implemented.

• Examine the roots of American sectionalism as exemplified within the Panic of 1819 and the Missouri Compromise of 1820.

•Review the goals of John Quincy Adams’s nationalistic foreign policy, and demonstrate how they found expression in his major achievements as secretary of state.

• Explain how and why sectionalism broke up the Republican Party, led to a disputed presidential election in 1824, and hobbled John Quincy Adams’s presidency.
