James Monroe (4 mars 1817 – 4 mars 1825)
Description:
(1758-1831)
VP: Daniel D. Tompkins
Polls of historians and political scientists tend to rank Monroe as an above-average president. Monroe presided over a period in which the United States began to turn away from European affairs and towards domestic issues. His presidency saw the United States settle many of its longstanding boundary issues through accommodation with Britain and the acquisition of Florida. Monroe also helped resolve sectional tensions through his support of the Missouri Compromise and by seeking support from all regions of the country. Political scientist Fred Greenstein argues that Monroe was a more effective executive than some of his better-known predecessors, including Madison and John Adams.
