#1-12 Even though my party controlled Congress, I was constantly at odds with them. The pettiest attack came when they refused to appropriate money for the upkeep of the White House. As a result, I was forced to pay these costs out of my own limited resources. Nevertheless, aided by my young, beautiful second wife, I became one of the most gracious and sociable presidents. |

#13-24 I lived in the White House when the Radical Republicans controlled Congress. They passed the first and second Force Acts to protect the rights granted by the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. The third Force Act authorized the president to use military force against terrorist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan. I invoked this law to declare martial law in South Carolina where Klan violence had become an epidemic. |

#25-34 According to the writer H. L. Mencken, my “ideal day is one on which nothing whatever happens.” A recent historian wrote about me, “The country wanted nothing done, and he did nothing.” I was efficient, logical, and organized, but I never looked ahead for troubles down the road. Mencken wrote about me, “The United States went slam-bang down the hill – and he lived just long enough to see it fetch up with a horrible bump at the bottom.” |

Four days of rioting began in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles after police beat an African-American youth for drunken driving. James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King, Jr., in Memphis. Six weeks later, Sirhan Sirhan assassinated Senator Robert Kennedy. |
