## Bio

Born in 1758, Monroe fought in the Continental Army before studying law under Thomas Jefferson. He opposed ratifying the Constitution, then pivoted into a Senate career where he led the emerging Democratic-Republican Party. As Jefferson's envoy, he helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, nearly doubling the country's size. A falling-out with James Madison over a rejected treaty led Monroe to challenge him for the presidency in 1808; he lost but joined Madison's cabinet in 1811, running both State and War simultaneously during the War of 1812. That wartime performance made him Madison's natural successor. Elected president in 1816, Monroe governed during the "Era of Good Feelings" when the Federalist opposition collapsed — he won reelection in 1820 virtually unopposed. He signed the Missouri Compromise, acquired Florida from Spain, and in 1823 issued the Monroe Doctrine warning Europe against new colonialism in the Americas. He left office in 1825, fell into debt, and died in New York on July 4, 1831.
