Andrew Johnson with his narrow mind and revengeful spirit, vetoes the continuance of the "Freedmen's Bureau. On March 3rd 1865 before Lee's surrender Congress establishes a place where former slaves and white refugees could get aid. A year later in February of 1866 long after Lincoln's death in April of 1865, Congress again opted for the continuance of the freedmen's bureau. This time however, Andrew Johnson decided to vetoed the idea. Congress upon seeing this pass a Civil Rights Act over Johnson's vetoed. This was the first time a significant piece of legislation was ever passed over a President's veto. Secondly it was piece that helped to shape the Fourteenth Amendment. Finally in July of 1866 Congress successfully passes the Freedmen's Bureau. Having it last for two more years til it was no longer needed.
