From the Holy Alliance, from the general European diplomatic game, and from England's preference for us who spoke her language and thought her thoughts about liberty, law, what a man should be, what a woman should be, issued the Monroe Doctrine.

And you will find that no matter what dynastic or ministerial interruptions have occurred to obscure this recognition of kinship with us and preference for us upon the part of the English people, such interruptions are always temporary and lie always upon the surface of English sentiment.
Beneath the surface the recognition of kinship persists unchanged and invariably reasserts itself.
That is my third jackstraw.

Canning spoke to Rush, Rush consulted Monroe, Monroe consulted Jefferson, and Jefferson wrote what we have seen.

That, stripped of every encumbering circumstance, is the story of the Monroe Doctrine.

Ever since that day the Monroe Doctrine has rested upon the broad back of the British Navy.
