 Explore DC: James Monroe
James Monroe was the last of our presidents with ties to the American Revolution, and one of its authentic heroes.
Few presidents were as well prepared for the office as Monroe: he was a member of the Continental Congress; a US Senator from Virginia; ambassador to both France and Great Britain, where he gained valuable experience in foreign policy and diplomacy; governor of Virginia; and served as secretary of state for six years under Madison.
The greatest and lasting achievement of the Monroe presidency is in international diplomacy, epitomized by the Monroe Doctrine (1823), which declared that the United States would not allow the European powers to interfere with the newly-independent nations of Latin America.
