09/14/2007 | This refers to the fact that Monroe was the last US President to have
served in any significant capacity in the American War of
Independence. The first five Presidents all played significant
roles in the Revolution. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe are known as the cocked
hats. Of the five, three (Adams, Jefferson, and Madison)
played a significant role in defining the philosophical underpinnings
of this country, and two (Washington and Monroe) served in the new
nations armed forces.
