James Madison 1751-1839
First Lady Dolley Madison
4th US president 1809-1817
Vice Presidents George Clinton (1809 -1812) Elbridge Gerry (1813-1814)
Madison Administration was problematic due to the tensions between France and Britain. The War of 1812 followed and Madison barely escaped when the British forces captured Washington DC. He was able to obtain peace through the Treay of Ghent in 1814.
His likeness was used on the US $5000 bill. A picture of the US $5000 dollar bill is here.
