Item is VERY securely in a plastic covering used by four screws and is thick measuring at approximately 5 x 3.James Monroe was the fifth President of the United States, serving from 1817 to 1825. Born on April 28, 1758, in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Monroe was a key figure in early American history, known for his role in shaping the nation's foreign policy and his contributions to the expansion of U.S. territory. Monroe was the last president who was a Founding Father and also the last president from the Virginia dynasty, which included George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. Monroe fought in the American Revolutionary War, where he served as an officer in the Continental Army. After the war, he studied law under Thomas Jefferson and embarked on a political career that included serving as a U.S. Senator, Governor of Virginia, and as a diplomat in France, where he helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Monroe was also a key figure in the era's foreign policy, serving as Secretary of State and Secretary of War under President James Madison. As president, Monroe is best remembered for the Monroe Doctrine, a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy that declared opposition to European colonialism in the Americas. This doctrine asserted that any intervention by external powers in the politics of the Americas would be seen as an act of aggression requiring U.S. intervention. Monroe's presidency was also marked by the acquisition of Florida from Spain and the Missouri Compromise, which attempted to balance the interests of free and slave states. Monroe's presidency occurred during a period known as the "Era of Good Feelings," a time of relative political unity and national pride following the War of 1812. Despite the challenges of his time, including economic troubles and debates over slavery, Monroe is often praised for his diplomatic skill and efforts to expand and secure the young nation's borders. Monroe retired from public life after his presidency and passed away on July 4, 1831, in New York City, making him the third president to die on Independence Day. His legacy is largely defined by his contributions to American expansionism and his enduring impact on U.S. foreign policy.
