Monroe was Secretary of War under president [[James Madison]] during the war of 1812. Perhaps his most famous legacy is the [[Monroe Doctrine]], which claimed U.S. policing rights over colonies in Middle America.

Monroe once said on his second annual message to Congress, "When we view the blessings with which our country has been favored, those which we now enjoy, and the means which we possess of handing them down unimpaired to our latest posterity, our attention is irresistibly drawn to the source from whence they flow. Let us, then, unite in offering our most grateful acknowledgements for these blessings to the Divine Author of All Good. <ref> [[God and the Oval Office]] by John C. McCollister, W Publishing Group, 2005. </ref>
