louisiana purchase, it was initially to get the port of new orleans, but then napoleon offered louisiana because he had to pull back resources in the larger war in europe and the revolution in haiti. also it had not been productive for him as he had hoped, so they offered all of louisiana and monroe was part of making those arrangements. that is probably the most famous part of his time in europe. he also negotiated a treaty with the british. the british signed, the americans never did. that treaty could have prevented the war of 1812. >> many people forget that there was a rivalry between the u.s. and france during this time. can you explain? cassandra good: it was a three-way rivalry, spain has fallen in importance, but the spanish and french and americans are fighting over who will control shipping to each other and the colonies, especially with the armies. so the u.s. could have easily gone to war with france as well. the french were seizing american ships as the british had been, but the french did not have the level of naval power that the u.s. did. >> go back to the time in the ea

he made a big reference to the obvious inability of spain to guard louisiana. daniel clark was then trying to round up americans to get together and throw the spanish out and let the united states take over. so, again, no mention of this in william clark's journal. but as i said, daniel was the past master of smuggling. as a clerk in the spanish archives -- i mean, in the spanish government with access to all the classified information that spain was producing about the spanish conspiracy, daniel clark knew that general james wilkinson of the u.s. army was receiving vast amounts of money. thousands and thousands of dollars. pieces of eight from spain for his alleged services and helping weaken the united states and strengthen spain. so daniel clark jr. was watching him. one of his allies in his effort to unmask wilkinson, i think, was james wilkinson's most successful courier. his name was thomas power. he described the most successful type of smuggling, the modus operandi of smuggling he did. there were three elements. you had to have cargo of goods from new o
