President Andrew Johnson strongly opposed the Fourteenth Amendment, which aimed to grant citizenship and equal protection under the law to former slaves. He viewed it as an infringement on states' rights and believed it would exacerbate divisions in the nation. Johnson actively campaigned against the amendment, urging Southern states to reject it, but ultimately, it was ratified in 1868 despite his opposition. His stance contributed to his growing unpopularity and conflict with Congress during Reconstruction.
