He was not highly ranked as a president. He took office only because Lincoln was killed . He did not have any power base of his own and the people who had been influential in Lincoln's administration refused to relinquish their power. Moreover, Johnson was seen as a Southern sympathizer when he tried to stop those who wanted to punish the rebels rather than bringing them back into the union. In short, he did not get much done, but he was put into an almost impossible situation.
