| Title | James Monroe to Henry S. Fox condemning Britain's crusade against France |
| Date | 5 July 1815 |
| Author | Monroe, James (1758-1831) |
| Recipient | Fox, Henry Stephen |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | Condemns Britain's "new crusade" against Napoleonic France: "Our countries are now at peace and I am satisfied that you will unite with me, in a strong desire, that they may long remain so. I well know the interest which you take, in the preservation of free government in both countries, and indeed elsewhere, wherever it may be possible to maintain if a new storm seems to threaten Europe & perhaps this country. Why this second crusade against France? Has not that country a right to chuse its own sovereign, & indeed to establish its own government?" |
