Andrew Johnson was US President from 1865 until March 1869. He became the 17th president when Lincoln was killed . Andrew Johnson was elected as vice president with Lincoln in 1864. He was US senator from Tennessee when Tennessee seceded and he was the only Senator from a seceding state that remained loyal to the union. Lincoln appointed him military governor of Tennessee after Tennessee was recaptured by the union.
Johnson was known as a failure as a Reconstruction Era president. He was distrusted because he was from the South and had no status in the majority Republican Party. He was undermined by his cabinet which he inherited from Lincoln and which he was not allowed to replace by an unconstitutional law passed by an antagonistic Congress. After Lincoln died, several of the cabinet members took charge of the country and they did not want to give up their power.
Therefore, Johnson was one of the least effective presidents of United States and was almost impeached and removed from office for purely political reasons.
