James Monroe actually said...

"Our peace with the powers on the coast of Barbary has been preserved, but we owe it altogether to the presence of our squadron in the Mediterranean."

"Our military positions have been maintained at Belle Point, on the Arkansas, at Council Bluffs, on the Missouri, at St. Peters, on the Mississippi, and at Green Bay, on the upper Lakes."

"I can not regard the pressures to which I have adverted otherwise than in the light of mild and instructive admonitions."

"The commercial relations between the United States and the British colonies in the West Indies and on this continent have undergone no change."
