James Monroe was the last Founding Father to become President of the United States and the architect of the Monroe Doctrine, one of the most influential policies in American history. Serving during the Era of Good Feelings, Monroe guided a young nation through a period of expansion, diplomacy, and growing confidence as the United States emerged as a rising power. Though often overshadowed by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, Monroe helped shape the future of America through the American Revolution, the War of 1812, westward expansion, and the Monroe Doctrine.
