8 Monroe Doctrine (1823) Pres. Monroe, inspired by John Quincy Adams declares: 1. Europe may no longer colonize in the Western Hemisphere 2. Europe may no longer intervene in the Western Hemisphere Directed at monarchies in Europe, esp. Russia who were threatening American and Latin American republics. ENFORCER? Britain! Why?

9 Exploring West  “An American will build a house in which to pass his old age and sell it before the roof is on. He will plant a garden and rent it just as the trees were coming into bearing; he will clear a field and leave others to reap the harvest; he will take up a profession and leave it, settle in one place and soon go off elsewhere with his changing desires. If his private business allows him a moment’s relaxation, he will plunge at once, into a whirlpool of politics.” - Alexis de Tocqueville
