James Monroe actually said...

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

"An attempt has been made with the Government of France to regulate by treaty the commerce between the two countries on the principle of reciprocity and equality."

"The late change in the Government of Spain, by the reestablishment of the constitution of 1812, is an event which promises to be favorable to the revolution."

"With the Indians peace has been preserved and a progress made in carrying into effect the act of Congress making an appropriation for their civilization."
