monroe was praised.eople who met him always commented on what a plain, straightforward person he was. then you look at how he furnished the white house. it is very different. monroe very much understood the importance of symbolism. it was to present the united states in a fashion that majesty is the best word. you do it in the president's house. >> not only majestic. the monroes actually befriended napoleon when they lived in paris. the president originally ordered 50 pieces of mahogany furniture. he was told by the french that mahogany was not appropriate. this is what he got in its place. >> here is a tweet. "did the monroes face any lingering problems in the white house due to the burning?" what state of repair was it in when they got there? >> it was not ready in march of 1870 when monroe became president. they lived in another house for several months. on june, monroe left washington and went on a four-month tour and his family went back to virginia. he returned to the president's house and at that

the monroes didn't go.roes felt that it was improper for the president to attend these sorts of private functions. and particularly in his second term when there was this mad scramble for the presidency including all of his cabinet members. in fact, at one point, he wrote a letter to his attorney-general, william wirt about something. and at the end, he put a sentence, he's said, "i hope you'll come visit us in virginia. you are always welcome. you not being a candidate for a certain office.” host: in that sense, it feels very modern, doesn't it? mr. norton smith: what happens is we have a one-party state but instead we now at the politics of faction, personal faction. and indeed, the second term was beset from the beginning with this jockeying for 1824. host: jane is up next in killeen, texas. what's your question? jane: thank you. going back to a former series, what was president monroe's relationship with his vice president and who was vice president? mr. preston: i'll tell you, he's the most obscure vic

but this is what monroe said is. i'm doing this for the indians so is that when the americans rush up to the edges of those reserves the indians will look so much like them, they won't destroy them, but just blend in, and there'll be peace forever on the frontier. sound good? is this going to work? no? i'm getting nos from the back. [laughter] monroe picks ohio as the place where he's going to implement this policy. and he tells all the indians to come to a place called the foot of the rapids. under shadow of a fort where harrison and tecumseh fought many battles. and this treaty at the foot of the rapids is laid in front of them, and they're told you'll get these reserves, you've got to change, but at least you'll be allowed to stay here and we'll be at peace. this is a skeptical group. would you sign that document? no? what would you do? think about it. what are the options that are left open for you? it's a crushing thing to study because you get a sense of how trapped these great tribes are. they're trapped in sp
