Extractions: Johnson was the first President to be impeached, although he was not convicted. His view were considered moderate regarding the South. He vetoed laws which would have restored military rule over the south, as well as the bill that gave Negroes citizenship. Andrew Johnson was born in a log cabin in Casso's Inn in Raleigh, North Carolina. When Johnson was three, his father died, leaving the family in poverty. When Johnson was 14, his mother arranged an apprenticeship with a tailor. As such, he and his brother were forced to work in exchange for room and board and lessons in the trade. After two years, Johnson and his brother ran away. After hiding in Carthage for a year, Johnson moved with his family to Greenville where he opened his own tailor shop. In 1827, at the age of 18, Johnson married Eliza McCardle. He had received no formal education but was taught to read and write by Eliza. Johnson's tailor business flourished. From 1828-30, Johnson served as a town alderman. From 1830-33, he was mayor of Greenville. From 1935-1837, and then again from 1839-41, he served as a member of the Tennessee of House of Representatives. From 1841-43 he was in the State Senate. For the next ten years, Johnson served in the US House of Representatives. Johnson was a strong supporter of federal power, a Jacksonian democrat. He was a strong supporter of the Homestead Act, which gave landless citizens access to government lands at no cost. From 1853-1857 Johnson served as Governor of Tennessee. In 1857 he was elected to the US Senate. As the Civil War loomed, he remained the only Southern Senator to denounce secession. In December 1860, he stated: "Though I fought against Lincoln I love my country. I love the constitution and swear that it and the Union will be saved as Old Hickory Jackson did in 1832. Senators, my blood, my existence I would give to save this Union. " In the South, Johnson was viewed as a traitor. In the North, his stature grew to heroic proportions.

Extractions: 17th U.S. President About President Johnson: He was a self-educated man of humble origin who was Abraham Lincoln's vice president during his second term and became President upon the assassination of Lincoln in April of 1865. Born to a poor family in Raleigh, North Carolina, as a boy Johnson never attended school. He was apprenticed to a tailor but ran away at age 16 and later settled in Greeneville, Tennessee, where he eventually set up his own prosperous tailor shop. He married Eliza McCardle, the daughter of a shoemaker, who helped him improve his reading, writing and math. They had five children. Johnson discovered a flair for public speaking and entered politics, championing local farmers and small merchants against the wealthy land owners. He enjoyed a rapid rise, serving as a mayor, congressman, governor, and senator. Although he was a slave holder, he remained loyal to the Union and refused to resign as the U.S. Senator from Tennessee when the state seceded at the outbreak of the Civil War, which brought him to the attention of President Lincoln. In 1862, Lincoln appointed him military governor of Tennessee. In an effort to win votes from Democrats, Lincoln (a Republican) chose Johnson (a War Democrat) as his running mate in 1864 and they swept to victory in the presidential election.

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History , seventeenth president of the United States. Johnson, the only president ever to be impeached, was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, into very moderate circumstances. Apprenticed to a tailor as a youth, he ran away from his employer and settled in Greeneville, Tennessee, where he established himself as a tailor. Johnson soon turned to politics, rising to governor and U.S. senator. He became a spokesman for the Jacksonian Democrats of his state, favoring populist measures, particularly a homestead bill. In 1860-1861, he remained loyal to the Union, the only senator from a seceding state to do so, and in 1862, Abraham Lincoln appointed him military governor of Tennessee. In 1864 Johnson was elected vice president. Inaugurated as president after Lincoln's assassination, he announced his hatred for "traitors," but in reality embraced a lenient Reconstruction policy. A firm believer in states' rights, he held that blacks were innately inferior. Consequently, he asserted that the southern states had never left the Union and ought to be restored quickly, without regard to the safety of the freedmen. This was the rationale for his granting amnesty to all but a few ex-Confederates and appointing provisional governors charged with calling on white voters to reestablish loyal governments. The resulting administrations enacted Black Codes that virtually remanded the freedmen to slavery.

Extractions: Senator Zachariah Chandler Vice President-elect Andrew Johnson arrived in Washington ill from typhoid fever. The night before his March 4, 1865, inauguration, he fortified himself with whiskey at a party hosted by his old friend, Secretary of the Senate John W. Forney . The next morning, hung over and confronting cold, wet, and windy weather, Johnson proceeded to the Capitol office of Vice President Hannibal Hamlin , where he complained of feeling weak and asked for a tumbler of whiskey. Drinking it straight, he quickly consumed two more. Then, growing red in the face, Johnson entered the overcrowded and overheated Senate chamber. After Hamlin delivered a brief and stately valedictory, Johnson rose unsteadily to harangue the distinguished crowd about his humble origins and his triumph over the rebel aristocracy. In the shocked and silent audience, President Abraham Lincoln showed an expression of "unutterable sorrow," while Senator

Extractions: Death of Andrew Johnson It is an old favorite among trivia question writers. "Who was the only former American president to serve in the United States Senate?" The answer is identical to that for another popular civics question: "Who was the first president to be impeached in the House and tried by the Senate?" On July 31, 1875, Senator Andrew Johnson died of a stroke while visiting his daughter in Tennessee. The Tennessee Democrat had first served in the Senate from 1857 to 1862. In the early months of the Civil War, Johnsonthe only southern senator to remain loyal to the Union after his state secededwas obliged to flee his own state to avoid arrest. When federal troops conquered Nashville, he resigned his Senate seat in March 1862 to accept President Abraham Lincoln 's appointment as military governor of Tennessee. He served as vice president for a month in 1865, and as president for the balance of Lincoln's term. In January 1875, Johnson won back his former Senate seat after a hotly contested struggle that forced the Tennessee legislature through fifty-six separate ballots. On March 5, 1875, Johnson took his Senate oath before the same body that only seven years earlier had failed by a single vote to remove him from the White House. During the nineteen-day Senate special session, he delivered one major addresson political turmoil in Louisianaand then returned to Tennessee, where he died four months later.

Consequently, he is buried with his head resting on a copy of the Constitution and his body wrapped in an American flag. Though he was extremely unpopular with some people both in his day and to the present, Johnson was one of only 2 people in the history of the USA to be governor, congressman, senator, vice-president, and president ( John Tyler was the other).

Extractions: Quotations Johnson belonged to no church and was not much of a church-goer. Although he was quite tolerant of religion and religious belief, Johnson showed little personal interest in religion. As a congressman, Johnson introduced a resolution that congress be opened with a prayer, the expense of which was to be paid through voluntary contributions from the members of the House. The resolution was ignored. "Here religion, released from political connection with the civil government, refuses to subserve the craft of statesmen, and becomes in its independence the spiritual life of the people. Here toleration is extended to every opinion, in the quiet certainty that truth needs only a fair field to secure the victory." Annual Message, 4 December 1865 "I intend to stand by the Constitution, as the chief ark of our safety, as the palladium of our civil and religious liberty. Yes, let us cling to it as the mariner clings to the last plank when the night and the tempest close around him!" impromptu speech to his supporters, 22 February 1866
