James Monroe, born on April 28, 1758, was a statesman, lawyer, and diplomat who served as the fifth president of the United States from 1817 to 1825. He was a member of the Democratic-Republican Party and was the last president who was a Founding Father, as well as the last president of the Virginia dynasty and the Republican Generation. His presidency coincided with the Era of Good Feelings, which concluded the First Party System era of American politics. Monroe is best known for issuing the Monroe Doctrine, a policy that opposed European colonialism in America while effectively asserting U.S. dominance, empire, and hegemony in the hemisphere. He also served as governor of Virginia, a member of the United States Senate, U.S. ambassador to France and Britain, and as the seventh Secretary of State and the eighth Secretary of War.
