Hello AP US History Students of the Summer 2014e,
Many of you are aware that something happened to the blog and posting was disabled. I only just was able to correct the problems with Google this weekend. I have a How to to help those who haven't posted anything, or just need to submit your final comment. Please do so as soon as you can. Deadlines will be extended to Tuesday, August 19th at 10 pm for all the Summer Blog deadlines.

You need to post comments three different times for your Summer Reading.
Every time you post, you must include your first and last name-- every time you post (get the idea that your name is important?). Without a name, grades cannot be assigned. Keep in mind that we do not know you by name other than from the legal roster, please put any given names not used in parenthesis).
It is IMPORTANT that you use the username and password included in your Summer Reading packet. (username: mcapush2 password: historyrules)
Emily Weeden - The President Calling: Lyndon B. Johnson
From Johnson's recorded calls, one can learn that, during his presidency, Johnson used relentless persuasion constantly. For example, soon after Kennedy's death, Johnson tried to convince Richard Russell to work with Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren on The Warren Commission, but he declined. Johnson, however, just announced Russell's appointment and claimed they were in agreement from the beginning.Additionally, Johnson worked with Martin Luther King during his presidency in order to extend the right to vote to African Americans. Johnson used persuasion when he led Hoover, the FBI Director at the time, to crack down on violence caused by the Klu Klux Klan.Overall, Johnson used the element of persuasion in order to carry out the majority of his domestic policy.
