President Lincoln's Vice President, Hanibal Hamilin and President Lincoln's wife, had had a terrible relationship, during Lincoln's first term. Due to the fact that the first lady did not get along well with her husband's Vice President, President Lincoln was forced to seek a new running mate, when running for reelection. Andrew Johnson had a reputation for being a staunch abolitionist (it turned out, after Lincoln's death, he actually was racist separatist, and did all he could do to keep the Black man from achieving freedom and equality.) Lincoln chose Johnson without knowing much about him.
It was during Lincoln's second inaugural speech that Lincoln and many others discovered Johnson's propensity for excess alcohol. Johnson was an embarrassment, making his own drunken foolish speech. He later tried to excuse the embarrassing episode as having to drink to ward off the pain of typhoid fever.
