You Don't Know Jefferson and Madison if You Don't Know Monroe
NEW!
Despite receiving little credit for achievements
such as serving as Jefferson's minister to France during
the Louisiana Purchase negotiations, and serving
simultaneously as James Madison's secretary of state
and secretary of war during the War of 1812, James
Monroe became one of America's most successful,
but least known presidents. For too long Monroe has
been lost in the shadow of his two famous neighbors.
For years, Monroe was "the pebble in the shoe" of the
incurious historian. Come remove the pebble and find
out why "you don't know Jefferson and Madison if
you don't know Monroe."
