Born Monroe Hall, Virginia; April 28, 1758 – July 4, 1831. James Monroe was
the last president who was a Founding Father of the United States, the
third of them to die on Independence Day. Monroe was the last U.S. President to wear a powdered wig tied in a queue, a tricorne and knee breeches according to the old-fashioned style of the 18th century. That gained him the nickname "The Last Cocked Hat".
