What was Andrew Johnson second job?
He was the VP under Lincoln during the civil war. Became president when Lincoln died and served in the senate.
Did Senate convict Andrew Johnson?
Of political differences with the Congress, certainly. But of high crimes and misdemeanors as required by the Constitution, no. The Supreme Court decision 58 years later in the case of Myers vs United States finally vindicated Johnson's position that the Tenure of Office Act was unconstitutional.
In any event, Johnson was lucky enough that he avoided conviction in the unfriendly Senate by one vote. His position as a Southern Democrat aided Lincoln's reelection in 1864, but caused political turmoil when he succeeded to the Presidency on Lincoln's death.

Yes. Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives (charged with wrongdoing) on February 24, 1868, but the Senate acquitted him at trial (found the President not guilty) by a single vote, so he was not removed from office.

Johnson's Senate removal trial began March 5, 1868 and ended May 16, 1868.
On May 16, 1868, the Senate made three attempts to remove Johnson from office, but each time he was acquitted by a single vote (35-19).
Johnson completed his Presidential term and left of office on March 4, 1869.
Why wasn't President Andrew Johnson removed from office?
I think you are referring to the fact that he was impeached. Impeachment is like an accusation- it leads to a trial by the Senate at which a 2/3 vote is required to convict.
Johnson was tried but not convicted and so remained in office despite the impeachment. (Incidentally one more vote against him would have convicted him.)

What led Andrew Jackson to become a historical figure?
Probably the main incident that most affected Andrew Jackson happened during the American Revolutionary War. Andrew was a Prisoner of war captured after the Battle of Hanging Rock. That was the westernmost British fort in South Carolina. In that area, a number of Cherokee indians fought on the side of the British. One historical sign in the area refers to a Cherokee General Tsali.
A British Lieutenant ordered Andrew's brother to polish his boots. His brother replied, "I am a Prisoner of War and not a man servant." The Lieutenant then took out his sword and killed Andrew's brother. Next he ordered Andrew to polish his boots. Andrew gave the same reply. The Lieutenant struck Andrew with his sword but did not kill him. From that moment on Andrew was driven to oppose the British and the Indians.
That experience seems to have been the driving experience behind the rest of Andrew's life.
Was Andrew Johnson an abolitionist who wanted to hurt the south?
Andrew Johnson was not an abolitionist; he held views that were generally aligned with the interests of Southern whites and opposed major civil rights reforms. His presidency was marked by lenient Reconstruction policies aimed at quickly reintegrating the Southern states after the Civil War, which often undermined protections for newly freed African Americans. While he did support the abolition of slavery, his primary focus was on restoring the Union rather than promoting racial equality or punishing the South.
