Background
Americans
Europeans

• Did NOT want Spain to colonize and control South
  America

• Europe wanted to restore collapsed monarchies
  after War of 1812
• Britain and Spain sought to control Pacific coast
  of North America

• Feared Europeans coming back to America to
  colonize Western land

21
What is the Monroe Doctrine?
Good question!

• President Monroe issued a foreign policy
  document
• Warning European countries not to intervene in
  Western Hemisphere
• Warning Europeans against colonizing South
  America
• Called for a reaffirmation of Americas neutrality

Written with most ideas and help from Secretary
of State, John Adams
22
Monroe Doctrine

• American continents, by the free and
  independent condition which they have assumed and
  maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as
  subjects for future colonization by any European
  powers."
• -President Monroe in his Monroe Doctrine

Monroe also stated that a failure to comply with
this doctrine would result in facing Americas
armed force
23
Domestic Unity
Written by Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to
President Monroe in 1823
Its object is to introduce and establish the
American system, of keeping out of our land all
foreign powers, of never permitting those of
Europe to intermeddle with the affairs of our
nations. It is to maintain our own principle, not
to depart from it.
I represent the Democratic- Republicans and we
are FOR no foreign entanglements!

• Reflects nationalism and Era of Good Feelings

24
Significance

• Monroe Doctrine began the idea of Isolationism
• Isolationism seeking to devote the entire
  efforts of one's country to its own advancement
  and remain at peace by avoiding foreign
  entanglements and responsibilities
• It helped to prevent foreign intrusion before it
  could potentially ruin the Republic
• TURNING POINT
• It unified America in the way that they were all
  getting rid of the Old World, and looking toward
  creating a New World

25
Nationalism Monroe Doctrine

• Nationalism the desire for national advancement
  or independence
• Used Manifest Destiny to justify the doctrine
• Manifest Destiny a policy of imperialism
  rationalized as inevitable (as if granted by God)
• This brought together a unifying idea that
  American land is for AMERICANS only
• Hypocritical because America uses this same
  principle to take land from Native Americans
