From the Paper
"James Monroe was the fifth President of the United States, serving two terms from 1817 to 1825. His importance in American history centers largely on his formulation of what would become known as the Monroe Doctrine asserting the interests of the United States in matters taking place in this hemisphere and warning European powers to keep away. He was also President when various battles began over the continuation of slavery, leading at the time to a compromise that left slavery to the South and eliminated it from the North. Monroe was born on April 28, 1758 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He would graduate from William and Mary, and he served in the army during the first years of the Revolution and was wounded at Trenton. After the revolution, he entered Virginia politics and later national politics under the sponsorship of Thomas Jefferson. In 1786, he married Elizabeth Kortright ("James Monroe" para. 1)."

This paper explores the general atmosphere in America during Monroe's term in which the economy was suffering and the issue of slavery had not yet been resolved.

From the Paper
"Monroe's presidency was termed as an "era of good feeling" because of political talent and skills. However, everything started to turn the opposite in the following years of his term. Economic depression occurred and Monroe was unable to provide strong action to resolve his country's economic problems. Civil War also soon followed. This was undoubtedly worsened by Monroe's signing of the Missouri Compromise which states that the Missouri is a slave state and Maine as a free one. Although Monroe was known to be an advocate of the bill of rights, he did not take a stand to defend Missouri. This is one of the weaknesses that the people saw in him as a President. Despite of the weaknesses that Monroe had shown in alleviating the economy of his country, as well as in defending the rights of the people of Missouri, he became successful in allowing good US relationship with foreign countries."

Abstract
In this paper, a history of the reasons and need for the Monroe Doctrine are thoroughly examined. The Doctrine was a powerful statement but the U.S. had very little power of enforcement. Reasons behind this are discussed. This paper also shows how the Monroe Doctrine appeared on the surface to be an American declaration of independence from a colony-hungry Europe but in fact the document had many weaknesses.

From the Paper
"By the early 1800s, America was becoming its own country and trying to separate itself from Europe. The United States wanted to prevent future colonization of the Americas by European countries and attempted to accomplish this by issuing the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine of 1823, designed to discourage European nations from colonization that would threaten America, was merely a declaration of America's independence, not a demonstration of it."

Abstract
This paper shows how Thomas Jefferson's presidency was revolutionary with his work of achieving freedom for America. The paper discusses how the spirit of his presidency was continued by James Madison and James Monroe in terms of achieving freedom and expanding the territory of United States.

From the Paper
"In 1776, a few of the leading intellectuals among the Americans got together to work out a formal declaration of independence. Among these were John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. Another was Thomas Jefferson, a Virginian lawyer and the main author of the Declaration of Independence, which was officially issued on July 4, 1776 at a meeting of leaders held in Philadelphia. The event was the most important in American history and the document provided the basis for the written American constitution which followed eleven years later (Fry 381)."

Abstract
This paper introduces the topic of American history as it relates to the first five presidents of the United States. Specifically, it discusses the impact of early leaders of America on the democratic government and how the first five presidents impacted early American government. It also looks at the accomplishments of each president and different facts about each that contributed positively and negatively on America as it formed as a nation. The first five presidents of the United States were George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe. It shows how each man influenced American history in his own unique and significant ways, with both positive and negative results and how these leaders were really creating the office of President as they tried to run the country with intelligence and finesse.

From the Paper
"Thomas Jefferson served as the Vice-president under John Adams, and defeated him in the presidential election of 1800 as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party. His Vice-president was Aaron Burr. The two were actually elected in February 1801, as they had both received the same number of president elector votes, and the tie had to be broken by additional voting. Jefferson served two terms as President. During his terms, he created the Army Corps of Engineers and the United States Military Academy, and signed the Louisiana Purchase, nearly doubling the size of the United States with the purchase. He also funded the exploration of Lewis and Clark, which ultimately led to the expansion of the United States all the way to the Pacific Ocean (Kane 28)."

Abstract
The paper examines the era and philosophy of former US President Thomas Jefferson, that included the terms of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe. The paper then looks at opponent Andrew Jackson's appeal and his strategies. The paper discusses how although three presidents established the Jeffersonian legacy, when Andrew Jackson, folk hero, man of simple messages, came along, there had been sufficient growth and yearning for change in the American electorate to allow him to win. The paper shows how this spelled defeat for Jeffersonian democracy and a victory for Jacksonian democracy.

From the Paper
"The Federalists were interested in "...increasing the authority of the central government," Flanigan writes, hence the Federalists received the firm backing of commercial and financial sectors of the American society at that time. But the Jeffersonian Republicans "...distrusted the centralizing and, in their view, aristocratic tenancies of their rivals," Flanigan continues. The two parties actually were launched as factions in the U.S. Congress, but as time passed the two parties' influence spread to the state and local level, and down to the voting public. These two parties helped develop form and fine-tune their opinions about issues that were important to the country."

From the Paper
"At the turn of the twentieth century, the literary scene in both the United States and Europe began to undergo a significant transformation. The experience of World War I further fueled changes in literary conventions as writers and critics began to turn away from the traditions created during the Victorian and Edwardian eras and instituted a new narrative structure in both the poetic and prose forms."
