During the US Civil War the US Congress was dominated by the Republican Party and their allies for most of the time were from the so-called "War Democrats". Congress was eager to end the Southern rebellion quickly and constantly criticized President Lincoln for what Congress believed was bad war planning.
During the Radical Reconstruction period in the United States following the Civil War, the group that had the smallest roles were likely the Southern white Democrats who opposed the policies of the Republican-controlled Congress. These Democrats, who were largely supportive of the pre-war social and political order, were marginalized and excluded from political power during this time. As a result, they had limited influence on the direction of Reconstruction policies and initiatives.
The Republicans controlled the presidency, House of Representatives, and U.S. Senate.

During George W. Bush's presidency, there were four years in which the Republican Party controlled both houses of Congress, two years in which the Democratic Party controlled both houses of Congress, and about two years in which the Republican Party controlled the House and the Democratic Party controlled the Senate. The average annual increase of the debt while the Republican Party had full control was about $567,500,000,000. The average annual increase while control was divided between both parties was about $375,000,000,000. The average annual increase while the Democratic Party controlled both houses of Congress was about $1,010,000,000,000. During the following two years, the first two years of Barack Obama's presidency, when the Democratic Party had full control, the average annual increase to the debt was about $1,660,000,000,000. In 2011, when the Republican Party regained control of the House, the debt increased by about $1,200,000,000,000.
Andrew Johnson had 15 vetoes overridden by Congress during his presidency. This was a significant number, reflecting the intense conflict between Johnson and the Republican-controlled Congress, particularly over Reconstruction policies. His frequent clashes with Congress ultimately diminished his influence and led to his impeachment in 1868.
No, Andrew Johnson was not the first Republican president. The first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln, who served from 1861 to 1865. Johnson, who became president after Lincoln's assassination in 1865, was actually a member of the Democratic Party before he was chosen as Lincoln's running mate. He later faced significant opposition from the Republican-controlled Congress during his presidency.
