AnswerPresident Johnson ends up being impeached because of the states that he transferred to be a part of the Union, which he was not supposed to do.

Andrew Johnson, however, was not removed from office because of his impeachment. He was one vote away from that, and the trial was, above all else, a political trial.


Reconstruction highlights:
-Freedmen's Bureau is established
-Black conventions begin in the ex-Confederate states
-13th, 14th, and 15th amendments are ratified
-Civil Rights Act of 1866 is enacted
-Ku Klux Klan is founded in 1866 in Tennessee
-Race riots occur in southern cities
-Republicans win congressional elections (Republicans = typically not South at this time)
-Reconstruction Act of 1867 passes
-William Seward negotiates the purchase of Alaska
-Constitutional conventions in ex-Confederate states
-Omnibus Act
-Ulysses S. Grant is elected president in 1868 (and again in 1872)
-Transcontinental railroad is completed
-Enforcement Act (1870) and Second Enforcement Act (1871)
-Amnesty act
-Liberal Republican party formed
-Panic of 1873 begins (lasts for five years)
-1874 Democrats gain control of the House of Representatives
