5th President, 1817-1825
James Monroe was born here in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
One of three presidents who died on July 4 (John Adams & Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826), Monroe's gravesite is unique and ornate, and can be found in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Virginia.
"The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil."
