Title: The Papers of James Madison, Presidential Series: Volume 9, 19 February 1815-12 October 1815
Author: James Madison

Editor: Mary Parke Johnson
Abstract: This volume covers a busy time in the presidential years. Madison was directing the U.S. government's transition from war to peace after the Treaty of Ghent, striving for better relations with the British while the situation remained tense and uneasy. A brief war with Algiers, problems with General Andrew Jackson, Napoleon's return and the the French Restoration, as well as the nation's financial issues related to a lack of a national currency occupied his time. The slow rebuilding of a fire-damaged Washington after the war of 1812 made conditions difficult for all those working on government affairs in the capital city.

The Papers of James Madison, Presidential Series: Volume 10, 13 October 1815-30 April 1816 (Book)
Title: The Papers of James Madison, Presidential Series: Volume 10, 13 October 1815-30 April 1816
Author: James Madison
Editor: J.C.A. Stagg
Editor: Angel Kreider
Editor: Mary Parke Johnson

Editor: Anne Mandeville Colony
Abstract: The Presidential Series centers largely on Madison's record as commander-in-chief during the War of 1812, the first full-scale conflict to be waged under the U.S. Constitution of 1787. Madison's correspondence as president deals with a particularly wide range of concerns to which he responded: national politics, international diplomacy and war, Indian affairs, the development of the nation's capital, and petitions for charity and mercy from ordinary citizens. In this period after the War of 1812, Madison planned to turn his attention to addressing domestic problems such as Indian relations; the settlement of national finances, including the debt band restoration of a circulating currency; the protection of American manufactures; the reconstruction of the nation's capital; and the reorganization of the postwar military forces.
