The #MissouriCompromise was signed into law on #ThisDayInHistory in 1820 by Pres. #JamesMonroe. It aimed to uphold a delicate balance between slave & free states by admitting #Missouri with slavery, #Maine without it, & banning slavery in the rest of the #LouisianaPurchase lands.

We’re not mad enough at James Monroe for creating the Monroe doctrine that allows the US to interfere with Latin America

#JamesMonroe by Gary Hart 3⭐️. Monroe was a cool dude. Very thoughtful but had thin skin. The last of the #FoundingFathers to serve & a true military man. His biggest ambitions were national security & westward expansion. He accomplished both. Also not bad to look at. #booksky #president #nonfiction

#OnThisDay in 1823, #JamesMonroe proclaimed the #MonroeDoctrine intended to keep European powers out of Latin America so the United States could assert regional hegemony, which it is still doing as #DonaldTrump threatens an invasion of Venezuela...

In a #StateOfTheUnion message given on #ThisDayInHistory in 1823, Pres. #JamesMonroe unveiled the key parts of the #MonroeDoctrine, namely, that USA would stay out of European conflicts and European powers had to stay out of the Western Hemisphere (it was America's playground).

The Congressional Election of 1789 - Montpelier Questionably-drawn voting districts, flip-flops, getting out the vote, and - surprise! - cordiality between the candidates. It's election season, 1789.

Tomorrow is #ElectionDay! But it’s too late to #vote for #JamesMadison or #JamesMonroe, who faced off in a Congressional election in 1789. Read our post to learn how the election sometimes paralleled–and sometimes diverged from–a typical election today.

For this week’s look at historical markers, we’re again heading outside of our normal Prince William County. #historicalmarkers #gabriel #slavery #rebellion #jamesmonroe #patrickhenry #richmond

James Monroe 1816 Artist John Vanderlyn Credit Line National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution James Monroe continued the Virginia dynasty of Democratic-Republican presidents that had been interrupted only by the tenure of John Adams. As one of the last Founding Fathers to remain politically active in 1820, most people considered him to be unopposed in his bid for a second term. His success reflected the Era of Good Feelings—the period following the War of 1812 that was marked by the temporary suspension of two-party factionalism.

James Monroe Artist Gilbert Stuart Before becoming president, he had held many diplomatic posts, including service as ambassador to France and to England. The year after this picture was completed, he issued the famous Monroe Doctrine, a statement against any intervention from foreign governments in the affairs of the hemisphere Source http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/12668

Portraits of #JamesMonroe, 5th President, from 1790s through late 1820s.

It's absolute lunacy that Oak Hill, James Monroe's estate and the only privately-owned estate of a Founding Father, failed to become a State Park due to politics. It's an overwhelming public belief that this land should be preserved and #Virginia suffers now as a result. #OakHill #JamesMonroe

A plan to make James Monroe's Virginia estate a state park was rejected. Now, it's in limbo. Oak Hill, built by enslaved people more than 200 years ago, is the only home belonging to our earliest presidents that still remains in private hands.
