@MethDozer Why President Monroe?

@HarryHatting He did a lot to ease the post war tensions and bring the citizenry of the early nation together. He was very anti strong federal gvernment and opposed many of the early ideas to concentrate it by the Federalists . He negotiated with France giving us rights to the MIssissippi and eventuall the Louisiana purchase. He helped to ease the tension between the US and Britian following the war of 1812 and even playing Britain and Spain to each other which resulted in us getting Florida. Without him we likely never would have seen Manifest Destiny to the Pacific. Lots of reasons. He was a good President for the time.
