Lyndon Johnson was the first president elected from a Confederate State after the Civil War. He was from Texas. Jimmy Carter was the only president elected from the "Deep South" , being from Georgia. (Actually Wilson was born in VA and Eisenhower was born in TX, but both left the south while they were still children).

∙ 15y agoIt depends on which states you consider to be the south. However, Andrew Johnson succeeded to the presidency after Lincoln was assassinated. He was from North Carolina. If you are thinking about an elected president, then it would be Woodrow Wilson. He was originally from Virginia.

∙ 8y agoCORRECTIONLyndon Johnson was elected with JFK in 1960, not 1860. It was Andrew Johnson in 1860 from Tennessee who would be directly after the civil war. Then, it would be Truman, Eisenhower, LBJ, Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush.

Johnson was only Pres. because he was Vice President when Lincoln was assassinated. He was never elected President.
The first to be living in the South when elected was Jimmy Carter of Georgia. Truman was from Missouri, but not the so-called South. Wilson had early childhood in the South, but lived in New Jersey as President of Princeton University when elected.

Who was the Southern President during the civil war?
Andrew Johnson was the first post-Civil War President from the south, but he was never elected: He assumed office upon the death of Abraham Lincoln and was never re-elected (in fact, he was nearly impeached). Harry Truman was from Missouri, which was a border state so he could possibly be considered, but the first clear-cut southern President was Lyndon Johnson (Texas). While his first term was assuming the Presidency after Kennedy's death, unlike Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson was then re-elected on his own. Since then, there have been three 'Southern' Presidents - Jimmy Carter (Georgia), Bill Clinton (Arkansas), and George W Bush (Texas). George HW Bush is from Massachusetts, so wouldn't count.
