Answer 6

President Monroe put a good face on his administration and actually thought it could be the beginning of the end for political parties. And there was an overall better feeling that the country was thriving.
But under that, people still had different expectations about what the Federal Government should and could do.
You mentioned slavery and western expansion. Those two issues came together to explode and result in the Missouri Compromise in 1820.
Taxation was still an issue. The manufacturing rich North had different needs than the agrarian South. And the West started making it's needs known. Regional differences didn't go away, they multiplied.
Treatment of Indian tribes was an ongoing controversy.
The American System provided for the Federal government to take the lead on infrastructure projects. But controversy comes out when deciding which states get benefit from Federal dollars. (This is is still a problem)
