1758 1831 Declaring Doctrine Hemisphere Intervention Monroe Unacceptable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the visage of James Monroe, the fifth President of the United States, who served from 1817 to 1825. Monroe is best known for his role in shaping American foreign policy through the Monroe Doctrine, declared in Monroe's State of the Union Address on December 2, 1823. The Monroe Doctrine asserted that any further attempts by European powers to colonize or interfere with the affairs of nations in the Americas would be considered a hostile act against the United States. This policy marked a significant shift in American foreign relations, establishing the United States as a major power in the Western Hemisphere and shaping the continent's political landscape for decades to come. Born on April 28, 1758, in Monroe Hall, Virginia, Monroe served as a soldier, diplomat, and governor before being elected to the presidency. His presidential tenure was marked by a focus on domestic issues, including the relocation of the national capital from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., and the passage of the Tariff of 1828, which protected American industries. Monroe died on July 4, 1831, at his home in New York City, leaving behind a legacy as a respected statesman and architect of American foreign policy. This photographic print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history and legacy of James Monroe and the Monroe Doctrine.
