The Monroe Doctrine • 1823 (Sec. Of State - John Quincy Adams) • No more European colonization in Western Hemisphere • US dominance of Western Hemisphere established
Monroe Doctrine The occasion has been judged proper for asserting… that the American Continents.. Are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers… The political system of the allied powers is essentially different … from that of America. We … declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety… With the existing colonies… we have interfered and shall not interfere. But with the governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have … acknowledged, we could not view any interposition (interference) for the purpose of oppressing them … by any European power in any other light than has the manifestation (evidence) of an unfriendly disposition (attitude) toward the United States.
Four Basic Points: • US would not interfere with affairs of European nations (outside Western Hemisphere) • US would not interfere with existing European colonies in the Americas • Western Hemisphere off limits to future colonization by foreign powers (European) • Any European action in Western Hemisphere would be considered a hostile act (Act of War)
Implications in the Western Hemisphere • US dominance until the present • US role in Latin American affairs • European direct influence limited • Precedent of Isolationism with Europe
Panic of 1819 • First major US Financial Crisis • Banks throughout the country failed • Mortgages were foreclosed • forcing people out of their homes • & off their farms. • Thousands put in debtors prison • Falling prices impaired agriculture and manufacturing, triggering widespread unemployment. • Result: Law passed for relief project & ending of debtors prison
