Democrates, which Johnson was as Lincoln attempted to unite both parties for his second term, have always been a party to hold back ambition in exchange for goods. They always believe that black people need help, while the Republican Party believes that black people have the same abilities as anyone else to help themselves.
In 1866 Johnson vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau Act, which provided for temporary aid to former slaves making their transition to freedom, and Congress passed the bill over his veto.

Johnson thought the bureau violated states' rights and exceeded the constitutional power of the federal government. He also objected to the fact that it was administered by the military in a time of peace. Finally he was afraid the bureau kept the Negro from becoming independent by providing too much assistance.

No , this decision came later during his presidency .
Andrew Johnson didn't exactly "decide" to be President. John was President Lincoln's Vice-President, and the office was thrust upon him when Lincoln was assassinated in April 1865, because the Vice-President is first in line of succession. Johnson probably liked wielding power, but had burned his bridges with both the Republican Party and his own National Union Party. Although the Southern Democrats expressed some support for him, they weren't willing to accept any of the Lincoln policies Johnson supported, so he was a dead horse candidate for reelection to the Presidency. Johnson also made an unsuccessful attempt to run for Senate in the 1868 election, and for the House of Representatives in the 1872 election. The State of Tennessee finally elected him to serve as a Senator from Tennessee in the 1874 election, but Johnson died of a stroke in July 1875, so he was only in office a few months.
Sovereignty is the freedom to decide; independence is the capacity to decide.
Although he was eligible to run for another term as President, he announced that he would not accept his party's nomination for that year's November election.
