COBBLESTONE Magazine September 2023. The two-term presidency of James Monroe was an era of national growth, prosperity, and “good feelings.”
Meet Mr. Monroe, our fifth U.S. president. He oversaw many major milestones for our fledgling country, including helping America establish its independence. His years in office became known as the “Era of Good Feelings” and this edition of COBBLESTONE Magazine shows you why.
James Monroe became president in 1816 after spending his early career working with law and politics. He helped spark a transportation revolution, binding the republic together through canals, railroads, and roads. And he ensured the nation’s capital would remain in Washington D.C. and furnished the White House with many objects that are not only iconic, but still in use today. Through stories, games, articles, and more, you’ll get to know more about this loyal lawman, his contributions to our country, and how he provided a foundation for the foreign policy of other U.S. leaders.
