About Andrew Johnson

Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Born December 29, 1808, in Raleigh, North Carolina, Johnson rose from poverty to become a tailor, state legislator, and U.S. Senator from Tennessee before his political career was interrupted by the Civil War. He remained loyal to the Union during the conflict and was chosen as Abraham Lincoln's running mate in 1864. Following Lincoln's assassination in April 1865, Johnson assumed the presidency and oversaw Reconstruction policy, emphasizing rapid restoration of Southern states to the Union with minimal federal intervention. His lenient approach to Reconstruction and opposition to civil rights protections for formerly enslaved people brought him into conflict with the Republican-controlled Congress. In 1868, the House impeached Johnson on charges related to his violation of the Tenure of Office Act; the Senate acquitted him by one vote, preventing removal from office. After leaving office, Johnson returned to Tennessee and served in the U.S. Senate from 1875 until his death in 1875.
