The Monroe Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine was a policy declared in my seventh annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823. I warned the European countries not to interfere in the Western Hemisphere. This stated "that the American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subject for future colonization by any European power." This became part of the future United States foreign policy. This was a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States.

I am Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States. I must say that I agree with you on the fact that we should be seperate from Europe. None of the conflicts or arguments in England, or any other countries of Europe, should have anything to do with us. I praise you for finally bringing that statement to the view of all of Europe.
