A few Republican Senators were disturbed by the way Johnson's removal trial had been handled, believing the prosecution (members of the House of Representatives) manipulated perceptions and presented a one-sided view of the President's actions.
Senator Edmund G. Ross, of Kansas, is credited with casting the deciding vote that acquitted President Johnson. Ross later said when his time came to vote he looked downward into his own grave (he didn't want to die knowing he'd participated in removing President Johnson by means of corruption).
