An Overview
of Andrew Johnson's Administration
Andrew Johnson faced a Congress
controlled by men determined to punish the South.
Feelings became so strong that the House of
Representatives voted to impeach him. One of the most
unpopular Presidents ever during his term, the American
people realized during his lifetime that he had been
teated unjustly.
A Chronology
of Andrew Johnson's Life and Career
Andrew Johnson was a typical man of the
frontier. A tailor by profession, he was the only
President who had never gone to school. A serious man, he
had neither tact nor humor, but he was honest, brave, and
intelligent. An unshakable faith in the Constitution
guided his actions during his 20 years as a U.S.
Representative, a Governor, and a U.S. Senator.
