Andrew Johnson
The Public Record
Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from April 15, 1865, to March 4, 1869. A member of the Democratic Party, he was born in Tennessee and became the first president to assume office following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Johnson's presidency was characterized by his strong opposition to the Reconstruction policies implemented by Congress, which aimed to rebuild the South and secure rights for newly freed African Americans. His resistance to these policies ultimately led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868, although he was acquitted by the Senate and remained in office until the end of his term.
