1 The Missouri Compromise and The Monroe Doctrine

2 President James Monroe Monroe ran for President in 1816 as a Democratic-Republican and won easily against the last Federalist presidential candidate Rufus King, The Democratic-Republican party, lacking any serious opposition, effectively stopped functioning. Monroe was the Last of the Virginia Dynasty Monroe s popularity and rising sense of American nationalism led to a Boston newspaper announcing that the Era of Good Feelings had begun. Notable events and concept from during Monroe s Presidency include The Missouri Compromise, The Monroe Doctrine, The American System, and McCulloch v. Maryland.

3 The Missouri Compromise In 1819 Missouri petitioned to enter the Union as a slave state. Congress debated and argued for 2 ½ years. Problems - Missouri would become the northernmost slave state, further spreading slavery across the United States. The balance of power in congress would be upset, giving slave states the majority in the Senate. The Tallmadge amendment attempted to bring Missouri in as a free state, but was blocked by Southern representatives in the Senate.

4 The Missouri Compromise The compromise proposed by Henry Clay - Missouri would enter the Union as a slave state, while Maine would enter as a free state, preserving the balance in the Senate. Slavery would be prohibited in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory north of latitude Free blacks ended up being prohibited from entering Missouri, in contradiction to a guarantee that Missouri would not discriminate against citizens of other states. The Compromise maintained relations between the North and South until the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854

5 The Missouri Compromise Was the Missouri Compromise the best possible solution given the circumstances surrounding the issue of admitting new states to the Union? What impact did the Missouri Compromise have on future territories and their entrance into the Union?

6 In the early 1800s most Latin American colonies had revolted against their European masters, resulting in numerous independent states throughout latin America. The United States general supported the revolutions due to them having similar values as the American Revolution. The Monroe Doctrine In 1822 there began to be worries regarding the Quadruple Alliance ( Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain ) having designs on Latin America. Spain also remained a concern as well, holding onto its remaining important Caribbean possessions.

7 The Monroe Doctrine John Quincy Adams drafted the Message that Monroe gave to Congress during his annual message in pillars U.S. opposition to any further efforts at colonization by European powers in the Americas. A pledge that the U.S. would not involve itself in the wars of Europe. A warning to European countries not to interfere with the newly independent countries of Latin America.

8 The Monroe Doctrine How do you think Monroe is trying to portray the United States? What image is he trying to convey, and why? Would further colonization in the Americas would be a threat to the United States? Would the country really be in danger? Why or why not?
