The South wanted to protect and not to lose their property.
Andrew Johnson had been a Democrat until the Civil War broke out. He had no clout in the Republican Party and was never thought of as a presidential candidate. The only reason that he was vice-president is that Lincoln wanted him on the ticket. He was from Tennessee and thought of as a Southerner. He was far down the list of people that most Republicans wanted as President.
His term as president expired and he was not nominated to run for another term. Johnson was chosen by Lincoln to be his vice-president in order to balance the ticket. He was from Tennessee which seceded from the union, so Johnson had no solid political base in the North. He became president when Lincoln died but was never popular with the Republican party bosses. He had some support in the Democratic party but not enough to get the nomination.
No. Until 1975, Vice Presidents were not replaced if the office became vacant for any reason.
Andrew Jackson did not have a middle name for some unknown reason.
Andrew Johnson succeeded Lincoln and was a Democrat, but he wasn't elected. It wasn't until Grover Cleveland was elected in 1884 that a Democrat was elected President. I think that back then the winner of the election was named President and the loser of the election became Vice President. That is the reason the Democrat Johnson succeeded the Republican Lincoln.A+: Grover ClevelandGrover Cleveland

Andrew Johnson was not removed from office. The senate vote fell one short of the 2/3 requirement for removal. Richard Nixon was the only President to leave his office before his term expired for any reason other than death . Nixon resigned voluntarily rather than face impeachment proceedings.
The 22th (and 24th) US President was Democrat Grover Cleveland, elected in 1884 and in 1892. Although Vice President Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, succeeded to the Presidency on the death of Abraham Lincoln, the next four Presidents were Republicans: Ulysses S. Grant, elected in 1868 and 1872 (18th President) Rutherford B. Hayes, elected 1876 (19th President) James Garfield, elected 1880 (20th President) Checter A. Arthur, succeeded Garfield (21st President)
Before he became president, Johnson served as majority leader of the Senate.
He was assassinated just after the surrender of Lee, which ended the Civil War. His plans had to be put into effect by President Andrew Johnson and others, who had to guess what Lincoln would have wanted.
NO- Johnson remained loyal. Even when his state of Tennessee seceded , he did not resign his Senate seat. That is one reason why Lincoln picked him as a running mate in 1864.
