1. My favorite period is the "Era of Good Feelings" during the Monroe Administration. America was young and growing fast, most of the conflicts with the British were behind her, and her economy continued to expand.

Other times similar to this contained more problems. The Gilded Age was corrupted, and ecumbered by capitalism. An exciting time, no doubt: free trade flourished. But monopolies and low wages kept many trapped in poverty. The roaring Twenties, also an exciting, good-feeling era, had it's own share of problems. Organixed crime sky-rocketed with the initiation of Prohibition. Much of the less-holy cultural trends of today can be traced back to this period. A standard of indecency and immodesty became mainstream for fashion, music, and dancing. Modern times began, for the most part, here in the 20's. The 50's, bosting the advent of rock n' roll, also hosted technological innovation and an ecomomic boom, like the 1820's.

The difference between these times of good feelings and the original "Era of Good Feelings," is that people where more conservative during the Monroe Administration.
