Monroe, James

Born Apr. 28, 1758, in Westmoreland County, Va.; died July 4, 1831, in New York. American statesman.

From 1790 to 1794, Monroe served as a senator, and from 1794 to 1796, as minister to France. He was governor of Virginia from 1799 to 1802. From 1811 to 1817 he was secretary of state, and simultaneously, from 1814 to 1815, secretary of war. He was president of the USA from 1817 to 1825.

During his political career Monroe tried to reconcile the interests of the southern planters and the northern bourgeoisie. Under his administration eastern Florida was annexed (1819), the Missouri Compromise was concluded (1820), the independent states of Latin America were recognized (1822), and the Monroe Doctrine was proclaimed (1823).
