 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. |
