so edith and t.r.d him to dinner, which was, you know, frederick douglas had come to the white house to talk to lincoln, but i don't think a dinner was involved. so it's not the first time an african american came to be an adviser, but it may be the first dinner. >> could be. >> could be. >> i think it was the, first put people in the south went crazy. people threatened to kill t.r.. they said that she put a bomb under his car. that he promoted -- that he advocated socially quoted between blacks and whites. so we have to remember, an african american history, after reconstruction, this is the navy air, this is the low point of their segregation. legal segregation passed by southern states. and african americans in the south were treated very badly. so it was controversial to cross the color line socially >> it seems like an important time to talk about edith attitudes about african americans. lou gold and his biography of her gives a number of citations of personal correspondence where she would use bu

edith roosevelt, post presidency.ther subjects engaged my interest over the next 35 years, and so the fact of her racial views sat there while sylvia morris wrote her biography, and i worked on other things. then, in the spring of 2011, i turned to edith as a topic, looked at the letter, and put the old fact into a new context. the perfect first lady who never put a foot wrong had expressed racial views. the facts about edith roosevelt, which, of course had been facts all along, now changed to accommodate a new reality. her racial opinions, common in 1916, now seemed objectionable, and to some, but alas not every american, seemed often repulsive. the way we see a fact change is the meaning and the significance of the fact. and so changes how we see history. a wise historian once told a seminar of which i was a member, more than half a century ago, that if you press the fabric of history at any specific point, it will reveal how fragmentary and tentative our understanding and knowledge of the past really is. i submit t

it's from edith wilson herself.she had published her memoirs, and in this big controversy about how much power she took upon herself, here's what she said. i myself never made a single decision regarding the disposition of public affairs. the only decision that was mine was what was important and what was not. and the very important decision of one to present matters to my husband. okay, so today we know the gatekeeper to the president is really the most important job. >> he or she who controls access to the president, to some extent, is president. and as she said, it's not just who got to see him they embargoed and nobody got to see. i'm but also what the president gets to see. and she would decide what was best for him to see or not. one of the wraps about edith was that she's putting her husband's health ahead of the good of the country and that our priorities were wrong, but that's not why what she did. she knew what he wanted and that if cannot express himself, she knew that he would not want to express himself

the facts about edith roosevelt racial views.ow changed to accommodate a new reality. her racial opinions common in 1916 now seemed objectionable and to some seemed repulsive. the way we see a fact changes the meaning and significance of the fact and so changes how we see history. a wise historian once told a seminar of which i was a member more than half a century ago that if you press the fabric of history at any specific point it will reveal how fragmentary and tentative our understanding and knowledge of the past really is. i submit that this case study of edethroosevelt tmz scores one of the great historians of the 20th century. there are many ways in the which the picture of edeth roosevelt as a paragon of first ladies represented the genuine historical struth. she was not a monster and the contributions made to presidential spouses were important and lasting, but she was also a woman with an intellectual flaw that characterized her life in the white house and her effect on her husband. seeing people in the past in all thei

edith: good.: because at montpelier, which is the restored home of the madisons and open for tours and -- put it on your list if you ever get to virginia -- they have a display that talks about dolley madison's dresses and we're going to show you that now. [video clip] >> most of the dresses we have at the visitor's center at montpelier are based on descriptions that we have of the way that dolley dressed. but one dress that we own is a recreation of something that we still have. this is typical of the style of the day. it shows classical lines, a simple drape. and it was much more simple and elegant than the fashion either before or after it. and this is the sort of style that dolley would have worn while she was first lady. it is the regency style. but many of the dresses were more elegant. this represents what she wore at her inaugural. this is james madison's first inaugural. and at the ball, she wore what was described as a "simple buff velvet." and she wore pearls, which was something both m

edith: yes. it's very different from what they had done. theirs was extremely formal, and dolley's was much more open. and so, you had everybody at dolley's drawing rooms able to have access to the chief executive and his lady. and that's very important for forging a unity in the united states. and also, dolley creates -- she starts out as the wife of the secretary of state. but what she is doing is forging networks -- social networks -- on which politics and diplomacy can be conducted in a civilized manner through the ceremonial forms of dinners, receptions, parties, and so forth. so that some of these tensions and animosities that play themselves out in the hall of congress have a way of being resolved at parties in an amicable way. so she is -- she is really forging new networks that will work for both politics and society. susan: and this concept you write about in several of your books, and the subtitle of this is, "and the creation of the american nation." and you write about the fact that

edith: booming.an: bursting at the seams, so that's even though the seams were smaller in those days. of those, 16% were slaves, 1.2 million people. and the largest cities continue to be new york city, philadelphia and baltimore and boston. what should we know about the politics, the most important political events of the madison administration? what was the time like and how important was dolley in helping to navigate those times for her husband? catherine: right. there were two big stories that i guess i want to say about this era and the first one is disunion. i think you're getting the sense here that the early republic, this is what we call this time period was a time of great anxiety. nobody was sure that this union was going to hold. in fact, people at the time would refer to united states in the plural. they would say, "the united states of america are," which signaled that it's not quite holding together. and so, there's a there's a real fear that it's going to fall apart. and one of the sou

she got out about a lot more than edith roosevelt. it >> the american public was wildly enthusiastic about the young roosevelt family in the white house. what did the public think about the tafts, and particularly edith? >> the taft -- well, that taft family was older when they came to the white house. robert was already at yale, soon to be at harvard law school where he finished first in his class at yale and first in his class in harvard law school. her daughter, helen, helen taft was at school in washington and then at bryn mawr. and charles p. taft jr. -- or not jr. -- but anyway, he was at the taft school that taft's brother ran in connecticut.so they were not as charming and exciting as the little quentin and archie, who with their ponies and taking the pony upstairs in the white house and all the pranks that they did. >> we promised you more about the cherry blossoms. let's learn more about how she brought the cherry blossoms to washington. >> when helen taft became first lady in 1909, one of the first things she did was to add
