What was the main political division under President Monroe

Major Domestic Policy: Monroe was president during the "Era of Good Feelings." In other words, there was no division in the country after the demise of the Federalists. Even though everything seemed to be running smoothly, the government would soon be faced with the dilemma of Sectionalism. The country was split in to three; the North, the South, and the West. The West would be the side who made most of the decisions, because the North and the South would always fall on the opposite sides of an argument. One of the first major arguments that split the country was the Missouri Compromise. This Compromise created the state of Maine to keep a balance of anti and pro-slave representation in Congress when Missouri would become a state. srry thats alot i know
