He became President because he was the vice-president when President Lincoln was killed. He became vice-president because of his strong stance in favor of the federal union and because he was from a slave state. He was the only Southern senator who did not resign when his state seceded.

yes

He had a plan for Reconstruction very similar to Lincoln's. Johnson was impeached because the Republicans thought his plan made it too easy for the Confederate states to get back in the Union.

Andrew Johnson was Abraham Lincoln's vice-presidential running mate in the 1864 presidential election. Abraham Lincoln and his running mate Andrew Johnson received 2,218,388 popular votes and 212 electoral votes in the 1864 election. Lincoln was elected president and Johnson was elected vice-president.

The Radical Republicans, who supported reconstruction laws and held a majority of seats in Congress in the immediate post-Civil War era. They believed Johnson was too sympathetic to the South and favored laws and policies that were discriminatory against African-Americans.

Andrew Johnson was never elected President. He was elected Vice-President under Abraham Lincoln, and ascended to the presidency due to Lincoln's assassination in April 1865. He was 56 years old when he became US President.

He was the VP under Lincoln during the civil war. Became president when Lincoln died and served in the senate.

He certainly did. He was the only senator from a state that seceded( TN) to remain loyal. He asked to buried with a copy of the US Constitution under his head.

Johnson wife was Eliza McCardle ( b. on Oct. 4, 1810 , Telford, Tennessee ; d. Jan. 15, 1876 in Greeneville, Tennessee ) They were married May 17, 1827, at the home of the bride's mother in Greeneville.

William W. Holden

Andrew Johnson served less than 1 term in office, as US President. Johnson was never elected to office as President; the term he served, was the balance of President Lincoln's term, when he became President after President Lincoln was assassinated.

President Johnson impeached during his 1 term as President, and was the first US President to be impeached. There were two attempts to impeach him, the second attempt was successful, and though he was impeached, he was not removed from office. (The Senate did not successfully vote to confirm the impeachment charges.)

Johnson wanted to run for a second term as President but was not nominated by the Democratic party for President.

Johnson was in his room at the Kirkwood Hotel in Washington when Lincoln was assassinated, but George Atzerodt, the conspirator who was supposed to assassinate the Vice President never acted.

A few Republican Senators were disturbed by the way Johnson's removal trial had been handled, believing the prosecution (members of the House of Representatives) manipulated perceptions and presented a one-sided view of the President's actions.

Senator Edmund G. Ross, of Kansas, is credited with casting the deciding vote that acquitted President Johnson. Ross later said when his time came to vote he looked downward into his own grave (he didn't want to die knowing he'd participated in removing President Johnson by means of corruption).

President Lincoln's Vice President, Hanibal Hamilin and President Lincoln's wife, had had a terrible relationship, during Lincoln's first term. Due to the fact that the first lady did not get along well with her husband's Vice President, President Lincoln was forced to seek a new running mate, when running for reelection. Andrew Johnson had a reputation for being a staunch abolitionist (it turned out, after Lincoln's death, he actually was racist separatist, and did all he could do to keep the Black man from achieving freedom and equality.) Lincoln chose Johnson without knowing much about him.

It was during Lincoln's second inaugural speech that Lincoln and many others discovered Johnson's propensity for excess alcohol. Johnson was an embarrassment, making his own drunken foolish speech. He later tried to excuse the embarrassing episode as having to drink to ward off the pain of typhoid fever.
