What was James Monroe talking about when he said this?
"If we look to the history of other nations, ancient or modern, we find no example of a growth so rapid, so gigantic, of a people so prosperous and happy." Did he mean that he felt America was one of the strongest nations?
He felt that America was growing larger and stronger faster than any previous nation had ever done.
America was still not a strong nation during Monroe's time, but gradually became a world power during the early to mid 1900s.
