In the 1816 election, the Federalist party did not nominate a presidential candidate as they sensed their demise. James Monroe ran for president as the candidate of the Democratic-Republican party. He had previously served as ambassador to France, governor of Virginia, secretary of state under Madison, and secretary of state and secretary of war simultaneously under Madison. Madison adopted some Federalist economic policies like the Second Bank of the United States in his later terms, contributing to an "Era of Good Feeling." Monroe purchased Florida from Spain and issued the Monroe Doctrine, stating that further European colonization in the Americas would not be tolerated.
