The president impeached right after the Civil War was Andrew Johnson. He was impeached in 1868 primarily due to his violation of the Tenure of Office Act, which restricted the president's power to remove certain officeholders without the Senate's approval. The House of Representatives passed the impeachment articles, but Johnson was acquitted by the Senate, falling just one vote short of removal from office.
