Part A) There are several different topics that are shown in this image. One of the topics would have to deal with more economic opprotunity for Americans. Towards the top of the image, the sun is replace with a sign the says the words "glory." This is shows the Americans desire for westward expansion during this time period. Land was also at a reasonable price before the bank war were people could obtain money. Americans could grow crops to have more savings Part B) This would be in life of a regular farmer in South Carolina. The South Carolina soil was starting to produce bad harvests. This lead to people wanting to travel westward to have more economic opprotunity with the cotton and textile industry.

One example would be from the Monroe Doctrine that explained that the United States was the supreme power of the western hemisphere. The Doctrine asserted the United States power against Great Britain explaining that if anyone was to enter or invade their territory, the United States would retaliate against the entity. Part B) Another example of nationalism that existed within the United States would be the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Citizens of the Untied States wanted westward expansion because Americans saw more economic profit. This developed into Manifest Destiny, the belif that the United States would eventually cover the area of land from the pacific to the Alantic. Part C) (needs improvement) There are multiple occasions after the War of 1812 that demostrated the United States nationalism. One of these events would be the Monroe Doctrine. The Doctrine established America's identity in the western hemisphere. It also allowed the United States to revolt against Great Britain, in a more indirect manner.
