He will also talk about Monroe’s critical role in the Louisiana Purchase, his service as Secretary of State and Secretary of War under President James Madison and the creation of the famous Monroe Doctrine which he put forth during his presidency to boldly warn European powers against any interference in the Western Hemisphere.
