1. This included having the state ratify the Thirteenth amendment and abolish slavery, as well as Amnesty for all those taking an oath of loyallty to the united states; Excluding high-ranking confederates who had property over 20,000 dollars in value, these had to apply for a pardon personally.
He was a Senator from Tennessee when the Civil War broke out, but remained loyal to the union after Tennessee seceded from it. He was the only southern senator who did not resign when his state seceded. He became President of the United States ( federal union, aka the North) when Lincoln was killed.
Initially at least, it is not clear that it did. Johnson followed Lincoln's approach in offering amnesty to former Confederates, the major difference being that he excluded persons owning over $20,000 worth of property, which Lincoln had not. In practice, however, most of those in the excluded categories soon received individual pardons, so it made little difference. Johnson followed Lincoln in suggesting (not demanding) that Blacks who were literate or owned a certain amount of property should be allowed to vote. He was less generous to them than Lincoln in that he did not call for the enfranchisement of those who had served in the Union Army. In the event, the Southern states refused to enfranchise any Blacks whatsoever, and Johnson acquiesced in this. It has been widely speculated that Lincoln would have been tougher and at some point would have hardened his position and insisted on at least a limited Black suffrage, thus changing his former suggestion to a demand. However, since Lincoln did not live long enough for the matter to arise, this can only be a matter of faith, not knowledge.
The main difference between President Lincoln's and the Radical Republicans' Reconstruction plans was their motives. Lincoln wanted to bring the two sides back together as one nation as soon as possible, and was willing to compromise to do so. The Radical Republicans, on the other hand, wanted revenge for the war, slavery and sought to punish the former Confederate states. While Lincoln wanted to make getting back in the Union easy, the Radicals wanted them to accept several military districts that were headed by Union officers.
Here are some good Andrew Jackson quotes that have stood the test of time, and are considered historic.
"All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary."
"One man with courage makes a majority."
"Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission. "
"Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error. "
"As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending. "
"Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments. "
According to popular myth, Jackson was supposed to have said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!" In Paul Boller's book, They Never Said It: A Book of False Quotes, Misquotes, & False Attributions, historian Robert V. Remini claims Jackson never made such a statement. The tale is based on something Jackson wrote in a letter to John Coffee, "...the decision of the Supreme Court has fell still born, and they find that they cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate,"meaning the Court's opinion was moot because it had no power to enforce its edict (not being a legislative body).

Radical Republicans sought to regain the initiative in reconstruction affairs by campaigning for universal male suffrage. Radical Republican Senator Thaddeus Stephens of Pennsylvania urged that land owned by wealthy ex-Confederates be confiscated and given to freed slaves. Then General Oliver O. Howard, the head of the Freedman's Bureau, refused to obey President Johnson's directive and refused to return land and property to pardoned Confederates.

President Andrew Johnson vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau and the Civil Rights Bill because he disagreed with the draft written by Seward. He felt that these matters should not be acted upon while eleven states were not represented.
There are many reasons historians cite for the failure of reconstruction in the post war Confederacy. One reason follows the thread of thought that white southerners had to account for their terrible loss in the war. Accepting the Republican reconstruction plans was a pill they could not swallow. Although they lost the war of combat, the whites in the South pursued their political goals where ever they could. As the nation, meaning the "north" as a whole moved on to prosper with the westward movements, they lost interest in the south, and white supremacists took advantage of this.
Lincoln hand picked him much to the dismay of the Republican party. Lincoln was trying to show the country unity as it began recovering from the Civil War. Before the war the country was politically divided with Democrats heavily backed in the south while Republicans dominated the North.
The major events that occurred during Andrew Johnson's presidency are: New Jersey became the last northern state to abolish slavery, and the War of 1812 was fought.(any more questions, just ask. I have all the answers. No joke. I have a book that had evey question in it about presidents.)
President Andrew Johnson stopped punitive actions against the South. He pardoned hundreds of Confederate officers and returned confiscated lands back to plantation owners. He gutted the Freedman Bureau of power and funding and abruptly proclaimed reconstruction over in 1865. His actions angered the radical Republicans.
They didn't agree that the Southern states should be allowed into the Union so quickly and that they should pay for what they did.
Andrew Johnson wanted to restore the South to a more normal situation much faster than congress. The congress wanted to punish the former Confederate Solders.
President Johnson knew the way the southern mind worked and wanted to calm the situation in the South as fast as possible. He pardoned the confederate solders. They could go back to farming without fear of losing their land. There would not be any large scale dislocations of people. That would be best for both whites and blacks. The situation would be clear for all.
Congress did not care if the South had riots and burned down their own neighborhoods. They wanted the South punished. On the other hand, President Johnson did not have good back room political skills. He was going to do as he wanted and what he thought was right.
He was impeached in 1868, mainly because of his opposition to the Radicals Republicans Reconstruction's Plan, particularly against the Fourteenth Amendment.
There have been 2 Presidents Impeached in the U.S. history. The 17th president Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1868 for violation of the Tenure in Office Act of 1867. However, the Senate was one vote short of convicting Johnson.
The 42nd president Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 by the House for perjury and obstruction of justice. As with Johnson, the Senate could not come up with the two-thirds majority to convict Clinton.
President Nixon was not impeached. While the House issued articles of impeachment for bribery, obstruction of justice, illegal wiretapping, and bribery Nixon resigned the Presidency before the House voted for impeachment. Most certainly had he not resigned he would have been impeached.
Andrew Johnson was US senator from Tennessee when the war began. He remained loyal to the union when Tennessee seceded. In March 1862 Lincoln appointed him military governor of Tennessee with the rank of Brigadier General. In 1864 he was elected Vice-President.
In the 1864 U. S. Vice Presidential Election, Andrew Johnson ran against George Pendleton.
It may have been because he became President on acount of the assination of Abraham Lincoln.
Therefore they never had a v.p. for him because he was the v.p. and vice pres dont have vice vice pres. after them. in the order there are many people after vice president choice.
William Jefferson Clinton.
The first was Andrew Johnson.
The are the only two to be impeached, and no President has ever been convicted by the Senate.
