they call it monro hill. this property became available and he saw it as being closer to jefferson, being a larger tract of land and hopefully more productive. inpurchased the property 1790 three and moved in in 1799. by the late 18 teens, he had his property oak hill in loudoun county. was closer to washington. he wants down more frequently. he veryis presidency, likely traveled with his wife. sometimes his elder daughter also accompanied them. was an important person to monro. a confidant and secretary sometimes. his family would come. enslavede certainly people during monroe's lifetime. he claimed ownership of about 250 souls. that is cumulative, not at one time. that was based on what was happening with the properties. that is important to recognize is that monroe's latency is physically fairly diffuse. this is the one that is open to the public. he spent time in fredericksburg and new york city. of course he was born in the eastern part of the state. during the main portion of his public career, highland

james monroe seems to be an easy man. they say he was able to put men and women at ease in social situations. i think he enjoyed dinner table conversation. he really was kind. people say he had a great sense of humor. we see that in accounts of him. he seems to poke fun at himself and others. he went to campbelltown academy, which was a good school. it really prepared colonial young men for a real professional life. john marshall was at least briefly one of his classmates. after both of his parents died by the time he was 16, his maternal uncle, joseph jones, who was his first real mentor and role model, sent james monroe to william and mary, where he studied for about two years. i like in particular a story about monroe's start there. he should have been well prepared and well regarded school. he got there and found he was >> he got there and found he was really deficient in one or more subjects. he wrote about this later, that he went home and revised and studied really hard over the summer and worked hard to get where

capital is still named monroe. it's called monrovia. the first settlers of liberia were freed black people from the united states. by this time, i think, this is not a feasible solution to this problem and one might object nowadays that they should have had the idea of a biracial society. but jefferson didn't and yet, again, it's not true that he thought, well, slavery fine and i benefit from it so i won't do anything about it and i can talk about it but i won't take action in that regard. besides the significant legal reforms that i mentioned earlier , and as i said it's former political tenet monroe signed the missouri compromise bill that meant ultimately to anti- slavery would control the u.s. senate, other virginians thought it would be the end of slavery. the missouri compromise meant the end of slavery. this ongoing campaign of having in slavery in the attempt to figure out what to do about it within the colonization context was the serious efforts for jefferson. i should've mentioned earlier, absent at various times, tried to fi
