The 1820 Election Explained

The video discusses the unique election of 1820, where James Monroe ran unopposed, winning almost all electoral votes except one. The election is marked by anomalies, such as an elector voting for John Quincy Adams and the controversy over Missouri's statehood. The video also covers the decline of the Federalist Party, the economic panic of 1819, and the rise of sectionalism. Despite these issues, the era is known as the 'Era of Good Feelings' due to the dominance of the Democratic-Republican Party.
