Do you mean who was the first Democrat to be elected President after the Civil War? The Republican party dominated for many years following the Civil War. After Lincoln was assassinated, he was succeeded by Johnson, a member of the War Union Party, who was followed by Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur, who were all Republicans. Then, in 1884, Grover Cleveland was elected. He was a Democrat, and he took office in 1885.
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
The 22th (and 24th) US President was Democrat Grover Cleveland, elected in 1884 and in 1892.

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)
