JAMES MONROE

5th President of the United States and the last of the Founding Fathers to be President.

He fought with the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). A protégé of Thomas Jefferson, Monroe was a delegate to the Continental Congress and served as a U.S. senator, governor of Virginia and minister to France and Great Britain. In 1803, he helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the U.S. As president, he acquired Florida, and strengthened American foreign policy in 1823 with the Monroe Doctrine, a warning to European countries against further colonization and intervention in the Western Hemisphere.
