Please consider joining us for our upcoming webinar events. We're queued up to continue our American History series with discussions of the Monroe Doctrine and the Second Great Awakening.

Join NAS tomorrow at 2 pm ET, as we discuss "1823: The Monroe Doctrine and the Foundations of American Foreign Policy." In President James Monroe's seventh State of the Union Address to Congress came a new determination by the United States to sever European affairs from those of the new world. This policy ensured American protectionism over the western hemisphere and laid the groundwork for future U.S. foreign policy in the Americas and around the globe. In this webinar, our speakers will discuss: how was the Monroe Doctrine viewed in Europe at the time? Was it challenged by European powers? How has the Doctrine been used since its inception?

This event will feature Brook Poston, associate professor of history at Stephen F. Austin State University; John Grant, associate professor and chairman of politics at Hillsdale College; and Jay Sexton, Rich and Nancy Kinder Chair in Constitutional Democracy and professor of history at the University of Missouri.

This event will feature Daniel Feller, professor emeritus of history at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Harry L. Watson, the Atlanta Distinguished Professor of Southern Culture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
