Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States, had a complex and often contradictory stance on race and equal rights. While he supported the abolition of slavery, he was not a strong advocate for full civil rights for African Americans. His approach to Reconstruction favored leniency towards the Southern states and often undermined efforts to secure equal rights, leading to significant setbacks in the advancement of African American equality during his presidency.
