Only people who are racist. He was the biggest open racist known to the South. He also was never elected, he ran with Lincoln as a vice president. Lincoln did not like him but he decided to run with him to get the South to vote for him. He succeeded licoln when Lincoln was killed.
Because he was the president! If I were president I would enjoy it too
Andrew Johnson, who would succeed Lincoln as president.
Abraham Lincoln ran for president with Andrew Johnson as the Vice Presidential candidate. This would be Lincoln's second term as president, having chosen a new vice-presidential candidate.
Andrew Johnson (1801-1875) of Tennessee. Served as vice-president from March-April 1865. Johnson succeeded to the presidency on the assassination of President Lincoln. Johnson would be the first president to be impeached by Congress(S.Menzel)

Andrew Johnson was the President who was taught to read and write by his wife. His wife would read to him and this is how he learned to read and write.
The failure to impeach Andrew Johnson showed that Congress cannot remove the president due to policy disagreements. This would give Congress toomuch power. - Andrew
Andrew Johnson replaced Hannibal Hamlin on Abraham Lincoln's second election ticket because Lincoln believed there was a political advantage to be gained. Johnson was supported by the War Democrats (became the National Union Party) and broadened Lincoln's base of support. Lincoln also considered Tennessee-native Johnson would be useful during the anticipated Reconstruction of the South.
He was Vice President under Lincoln and would have supported Union causes.
Andrew Johnson was Abraham Lincoln's running mate in the 1864 election during the civil war. Lincoln was re-elected and Johnson replaced Hannibal Hamlin as vice president, becoming Lincoln's second vice president.When Lincoln was assassinated after the war, Johnson would become the 17th US President.
I would say Andrew Johnson who was impeached by the House and came within one vote of being convicted by the Senate .
Because he wanted the same things that they wanted. and the were VERY happy that this happened. they knew it would benefit them.
