Description Excerpt from John Quincy Adams, His Connection With the Monroe Doctrine (1823)I am able to use in this place only a part of the unpublished material I have found bearing upon the genesis of the Monroe Doctrine. Nor can the full connection of this new material with what has already been printed be developed, as the story would take me back to 1817 and forward to 1828, were I to attempt a full relation. I therefore confine myself to some important papers, merely adding that I have found other quite as important papers, which will receive attention at a later time. The notable enunciation of the doctrine that America was no longer open to colonization by any European power is hardly touched upon in the papers now printed. It was a doctrine that admittedly came from John Quincy Adams, and there has never been any doubt as to its authorship. With what remains of the Monroe doctrine a reasonable doubt has been maintained; but I think the documents now published will show that no member of Monroe's Cabinet, except his Secretary of State, held a positive opinion on the general phases of Canning's proposals and of the Russian communications, or succeeded in attaining a position which was defensible from every point of view. Monroe himself has long been judged as unlikely to take so extreme a stand in the face of allied Europe, for he was by nature a timid man, and was at this time in poor health. He had had a large experience in diplomatic service, but it was on the side of failure and disappointment. This is not to be wondered at, for a long spoon was needed to sup with George Canning in his days of anti-Jacobinism, or with Talleyrand under a chief even more unscrupulous than himself. It is difficult to see the "radical" Monroe of 1794 in the presiding genius of the era of good feeling.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
