As a citizen of the united states in 1823, how would the monroe doctrine provide you with a sense of optimism regarding your country's position in the world

As a citizen of the united states ion the early 19th century the purposal of the Monroe Doctrine would offer not only a sense of optimism regarding my countries position in the world, but also a sense of hope for the non-colonised and recently liberate nations of the western hemisphere.

The reason for this is that while monarquism and colonial interest was on the rise in Europe, partly dur to the Napleonic Wars which saw the rise of the French Monarchy post - french revolution, the Monroe doctrine promised to keep European interest out of the Americas and to prevent America from getting entangled with European conflicts.

In keeping European influence out of the western hemisphere or new world, it would allow not only allow the nations (In this case The United States) to floruish without the influence of European biasis and rivalries, but also allow new nations to develop freely from the influence of the European Elite.

As well as the fact that the U. S. was to stay out of European conflicts meant that we would not be inadvertantly be fighting to defend European colonial empires and their internal power stuggles. And Thus spending man power and resoucres at that were not readily available to spend at the time in meanless conflicts that brought no benefit to the New World and only the Old World

To conclude in opposing European colonialism and enforcing neutrality the Monroe Doctrine felt the a step in the right direction morally and logically, and as an 19th century Aermican citizen I would fell that my nation was taking a step in the right direction.
