However, because of the lands Spain had lost to the America's both the English and the Americans are scared that European powers and Spain will be coming back to retrieve the land lost to them. Therefore George Cunning the British foreign secretary to America proposed an Anglo - American alliance to keep the European countries out of the Americas. Monroe wanted to go through with this but Adams did not allow this to take place because if so it would strangle the newly formed government and republics. They would then be sovereign to European control therefore Adams promoted the nationalistic entity of this issue wherein he says, " I remarked that the communication recently received from the Russian Minister… afforded a very suitable and convenient opportunity for us to take our stand against the Holy Alliance, and at the same time to decline the overture of Great Britain."

    During the late 1700’s, the United States was no longer a possession of Britain, instead it was a market for industrial goods and the world’s major source for tobacco, cotton, and other agricultural products. A labor revolution started to occur in the United States throughout the early 1800’s. There was a shift from an agricultural economy to an industrial market system. After the War of 1812, the domestic marketplace changed due to the strong pressure of social and economic forces. Major innovations in transportation allowed the movement of information, people, and merchandise. Textile mills and factories became an important base for jobs, especially for women. There was also widespread economic growth during this time period (Roark, 260). The market revolution brought about economic growth through new modes of transportation, an abundance of natural resources, factory production, and banking and legal practices.…

He drafted a message to Congress, which became known as the Monroe Doctrine. Some of the key provisions stated in this draft were that the U.S. would oppose colonization by European powers in America, the U.S. would not interfere with the European wars, and Monroe warned European powers to not interfere with the new independent Latin America.
