PRINT DESCRIPTION: James Monroe (1758-1831) was the fifth president of the U.S. (1817-25); born in Westmoreland county., Virginia. He fought in several campaigns in the American Revolution and was wounded at Trenton. He studied law with Thomas Jefferson (1780-83) and served in the Virginia legislature (1782) and the Continental Congress (1783-86), where he opposed the Constitution for creating an overly centralized government. In the U.S. Senate (1790-94), he was a staunch Jeffersonian and a violent opponent of the Federalist Party. Governor of Virginia from 1799 to 1802, and again in 1811, he undertook diplomatic missions to England, Spain, and France, and helped negotiate (1803) the Louisiana Purchase. He served as James Madison's secretary of state (1811-17), doubling briefly as secretary of war (1814-15). Monroe was easily elected president in 1816 and again in 1820. His administration was characterized as an era of good feeling. He signed the Missouri Compromise, settled boundaries with Canada, and acquired Florida (1819). In 1923 he issued the Monroe Doctrine, one of the most important principles of U.S. foreign policy. At the end of his term he retired to his estate, Oak Hill, near Leesburg, Va.
