When Lincon died and Johnson became president. (But really the duties didnt start until Johnson was president.)
In 1862, Andrew Johnson was the Union's military governor of Tennessee even though Tennessee was officially a Confederate state. Johnson was a Democrat and a Unionist. He saw as did President Lincoln did, that Eastern Tennessee was a hotbed for Unionists. He urged Halleck to make all efforts to take over this Federal friendly section of Tennessee.
Andrew Johnson helped reunite the Union, but he did not give protections to former slaves. Andrew Johnson was the first President to be impeached.
Johnson was in his room at the Kirkwood Hotel in Washington when Lincoln was assassinated, but George Atzerodt, the conspirator who was supposed to assassinate the Vice President never acted.
In late February 1868 eleven articles of impeachment were brought against Andrew Johnson over political and ideological differences between the president and Congress.

Political Reconstruction could have succeeded ig Abraham Lincoln was president instead of Nadrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson was basically hated ROM the beganning which means congress didnt even take the time out to listen to a Democrat from the south. Lincoln would of been more willing to tweak congress ills rather then veto them.
There is no record of any U.S. president sewing clothing. Most presidents have had staff to take care of their clothing needs.
Magic Johnson did not take any steroids.
President Andrew Johnson showed he did not support greater rights for African Americans in the south by vetoing the freedman's bureau and the civil rights act of 1868. President Johnson came into office after President Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
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.
The Union won the Civil War and took over the South. There were Northerners that came down to take political positions. Abraham Lincoln and his vice president, Andrew Johnson, wanted to be gentle with the South but after Lincoln was killed, the Republicans in Congress wanted to punish the South. They controlled the Reconstruction.
