President Andrew Johnson is generally not thought to be the worst president in US history. In a 1962 historians poll, which ranked 31 presidents from "Great" to "Failure," Warren G. Harding was ranked last, Andrew Johnson was ranked 23rd. He repeatedly opposed the Reconstruction policies of congressional Radical Republicans who wished to humble and subdue the South. Andrew Johnson, however, lacked the political savvy and leadership abilities of his predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, and was continually thwarted. He was the first president to be tried for impeachment, on the grounds of "High crimes and misdemeanors." See related links

Andrew Johnson's Campaign issues?

He was not that of what you would expect of a president. He was a great military general that just got lucky with becoming the vice president under Abraham Lincoln's presidency. After the assassination of Abraham however he became president. He was part of the National Union Party. He pretty much sided with everything Licoln was trying to do but did not ever end up finishing anything big. He was also the first president to ever be impeached. He is ranked by some historians as one of the worst presidents in history.
