My Life

As a boy, I didn't do much to make money because I was mainly studing law all the time. Even now, I still do not like to talk about my childhood that much. My life was a very full and busy one if I may say so. I was always into law and my country. I became many things such as governer, secretarys, and the president. During this time, I was involved in a lot of things and I made some very good friends.

Friendly Request

Today I received another letter from a person in New York. It said:

"Dear Mr. Monroe,
Hello sir, how are you doing today? As for me, I am doing fine. I was wondering if we could be friends and one day have some tea or take a stroll in the park. It would be wonderful to exchange conversations with you and I know a lot about you. I would love to be your friend because you are a very kind and smart man. You are also very popular these days and you did a lot to help you country. Since you are president, I believe you are very busy most of the time. So even if you cannot come down to New York, I would love it if we maintained a friendship via the mail. I look forward to your response.
Signed,
Sir Adam Liang"

Well, it is certain I don't get requests like these much. I would love to be his friend. In fact, I will right back as soon as possible and hopefully one day meet him in New York.

5 Important Facts

Some days, I like to sit back and see what I have done these past years and I came up with a list of the 5 most important things I have done.

1. The Monroe Doctrine

2. I was elected Virginia House Of Delegates

3. I was governer of Virginia

4. I was the 5th president

5. I was United States Secretary of State

My Role To America

As many of you may know, I was the "famous 5th president of America. Originally, my term was called "Era Of Good Feeling" because a Boston newspaper said that and the name stuck. The name was probably because of my great popularity and my neutrality. I began my term by making a tour of New England. Although this was supposed to be the "Era of Good Feeling", not everything goes smoothly. The Civil War stared eventually and I had to admit to myself that Missouri was a slave state thus making me sign the Missouri Compromise in 1820 which made Missouri a slave state and Maine a free state. I really don't know what got into me, usually I am a great supporter of free states, but this time, I took no public position. My most famous and best sucess was with foreign affairs. My most famous act was the Monroe Doctrine. South America had won its freedom from Spain and I wanted to ensure that they had no problem with Europeans so I made the Monroe Doctrine.

My Death

Soon after my dear Elizabeth died in 1830, I moved to New York City with my daughter Maria Hester Monroe Gouverneur. After one year, I died from heart failure and tuberculosis on July 4th, 1831. I was also the 3rd president to die on July 4th.

My Service in the Goverment

I was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1782. After that, I served in the Continental Congress from 1783 to 1786. Soon after that, I was elected to be the United States Senator in 1790. After these years I became very busy, I was elected to be the governer of Virginia in 1811. I then served as Secratary of State from 1811 to 1814.
