Civil War : The United States Of The Western Hemisphere

The Monroe Doctrine expressed the idea that new countries should be allowed to develop without interference from any stronger nations. The Monroe Doctrine is a doctrine that European nations should not interfere with American nations or try to acquire more territory in the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was derived from President James Monroe's message in Congress on December 2, 1823 and became a part of the United States foreign policy. Earlier in the Unit they asked me to give the 4 key points made in the Monroe Doctrine. And these are the points President James Monroe made. One that America never took apart of the European power struggles, neither did it agree with the policy they had to do so. Two they had not interfered with the other European colonization. Three that the American continents had not nor would they interfere with the other European power. Four, finally they would consider any attempt by any European power dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States of America.

The Monroe Doctrine had three main concepts that were “designed to signify a clear break between the New World and the autocratic realm of Europe”(www. history.state.gov). These concepts were: “separate the spheres of influence for the Americas and Europe, non-colonization, and non-intervention”( www. history.state.gov). Monroe stated, “The American continents . . . are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers”.

The Monroe Doctrine had a great impact due to its strict policy towards the European powers. It wanted to keep the U.S. trade safe from European powers and colonization. Without this important doctrine/document the Europeans would have most likely colonized, interfered with, and disrupted the western hemisphere and also the trade systems connected with them. The U.S. also would not be a balanced nation and have a balanced foreign policy without the Monroe Doctrine, which was also known as the back bone of the U.S. foreign policy.

     The Monroe Doctrine was stressed during the time of Roosevelt's Presidency. During this era many foreign policies were given up, such as the Platt Amendment. Roosevelt decided that instead of the "Old single-handed enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine,"2

In 1823, President Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine, creating the basis for future foreign policy. The Monroe Doctrine stated that “the American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers” (1). This means that Europe can not claim anymore land in the Americas, protecting the US from being encroached upon from other foreign countries during this period of colonization. Even though the US would not be able to militarily defend the doctrine and itself from European Powers, this fake image of power kept Europe out for the most part. The Doctrine was issued due to occurring events and existing ideas in the 1800s.

The Monroe Doctrine was set by President Monroe and it declared independence from the European countries such as France and Great Britain. 2. The domestic and foreign nationalism at the time were unified and everyone supported the economy and helped within the country and not outside of it. 3.

The Monroe Doctrine in my opinion was a significant to the United States, it laid the foundation out for America’s foreign policy. It also leveled America out to have the same level of power the Britain had. All regions of the United States were affected by the major economic developments during the Era of Good Feelings. From feeling great because of the National Bank, to getting knock down by the Panic all led to the United States were are today with patriotism shown every

The map of the United States in the late 1810s shows the sprawl the US experienced over the North American continent in the first half of the nineteenth century. Also, the division of the north and south is shown with a clear, distinct line across the US showing the border of slave states, sectionalism was rising in the US. Manifest destiny was a belief that the nation must extend westward. The phrase “From sea to shining sea” was first stated in this era. [Doc E]. The Monroe doctrine was an American document stating that any further European attempts at controlling the America’s would be considered an aggression against the United States. In addition, it stated the US would not interfere with existing European territories in the America’s such as the Guyana’s and the Caribbean islands. It was considered a bold move by many in the US because they lacked the power, militarily and financially to fight European nations at this time. Great Britain was in approval to this doctrine and in fact, was the sole nation that enforced it on other nations in the 1820s because the US lacked a sufficient navy to compete with the European nations.

The Monroe Doctrine, made by President Monroe and Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, was a statement of America’s policy. It was us warning Europe to stay out of the Western Hemisphere. Wes knew we needed to expand more in order to stay on top in terms of money and power. We also, didn’t want to lose these islands to Japan or Germany. Even though the we wanted this island we had to consider the fact that Collectively, the islands consisted of 43 different ethnic groups and 87 different languages.

Before the cotton gin the slave owners did not require as many slaves, but their production was way lower. One person with the cotton gin could produce ten times more cotton than without. It used to be where one slave in about 10 hours could make 1 pound of fiber from the seeds and now with the cotton gin Americans cotton has gone up rapidly, the US was producing cotton in the world as well. History.com stated “ the cotton gin was an invention that was just a more efficient way”. Even though the Cotton gin was such a good thing, Whitney did not think of the negative effects it would have such as slavery growing. There would be states changing to slave states because of the land they needed to create more cotton which would lead to having a needing more slaves. And because of the cotton gin slaves would now labor on even larger plantations where it would be more relentless. Even though the black population was so upset with there being so much slavery, they were happy to have jobs and not just sitting at home. It gave them something to do, it gave them a purpose if they didn't feel like it. Sometimes the owners would make them feel worthless but working with the cotton gin, it really helped the future with growing it and having good ways to make it and separate it that was easy. With the cotton gin in the Civil War the south had many disadvantages

1. The Monroe Doctrine was articulated during the period when there was the need for democracy. It was drafted by the then Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, and his primary reason was to end colonization and promote democracy. He feared that Spain could rise as a superpower and reign over United States colonies. President James Monroe later implemented the Monroe Doctrine.

December 3, 1823 the United State president James Monroe was giving his annual state union address when he basically told the crowned heads of Europe to stay out of American and said that the era of colonization is over in the Americans. This is how the Monroe Doctrine came to act. The Monroe Doctrine became a facet of American foreign policy through the 19th century and the 20th century. Let's look at the year that led up to the Monroe Doctrine. In the 1820 the monarchy in Europe was not good. The Napoleonic War and the French Revolution was convasting the powers of Europe . 1815, Revolution was finishing and the monarchy of Europe are reinstated. many of the states stated to want independence because of the French and the American Revolution.

James Monroe, the current president in 1823, read a message at a meeting with the 18th Congress on December 2, 1832. This message as we know is called the Monroe Doctrine. This message included a warning to the European nation not to meddle with the Western Hemisphere, saying "that the American continents, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." (Web Guides) It also was a way to increase nationalism. At the time, James Monroe mentioned that the main goal of this message was to meet the problems and concerns at the time. (Milestone Documents)

Clearly, the Monroe Doctrine was a threat to European countries because it explained that if a European country starts a settlement in the Americas, the United States will start a war. What led up to the Monroe Doctrine was when Mexico broke free from Spain in the year of 1821. President James Monroe got worried that European countries would take over the independent Mexico so he and Secretary of State, Adams shared ideas of how to avoid this from happening. Therefore, they came up with the Monroe Doctrine which threaten European countries if they dared to settle in the Americas which was made on the date of December 2, 1823. For instance, one threat that the Monroe Doctrine states to European countries is that if Europeans attempt to start

Did you know that the invention of the Cotton Gin influenced the Civil War? Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin in 1793 and it greatly impacted American history. Cotton was a very valuable product at this time, as we shipped it to European textile mills. The Cotton Gin increased the amount of slaves needed to produce the maximum amount of cotton, since it could be deseeded quickly, but it still needed to be gathered by hand. This caused the demand for slaves to increase indefinitely. The invention of the Cotton Gin escalated tensions between the North and South leading to the Civil War, by making the Southerners rely much more heavily on owning slaves(Clough).
