Andrew Johnson

One thing is that none of them graduated from college. They were all happily married to wives that were not especially noted for their beauty or their ability to sparkle in social situations.

because he lived in tennessee and the family business was being a tailor

He is credited with the passage of the Homestead Act.

When Andrew Johnson was impeached in May of 1868 when he removed Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who had been retained after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The Radical Republicans in an effort to keep Edwin Stanton in office passed the Tenure of Office Act, which required the consent of the Senate for the President to remove a federal official from office. When Johnson removed Stanton from office anyway the impeachment trial began on the grounds that he had broken the Tenure of Office Act, becoming the first President of the United States to ever be impeached. In the end he retained his office, just shy one vote from being removed from office.

He was born in Raleigh , NC and lived there until he was 16. When he was 14, he was bound as an indentured servant to a tailor in Raleigh as an apprentice. When he was 16, he ran away and hid out in Carthage,NC and Laurens, SC. for a couple of years until he joined his mother in Greeneville, TN and opened a tailor shop.

Johnson, after being impeached by the House, escaped being found guilty by one vote in the Senate, and therefore was able to remain President and serve out his term of office. The act on which his impeachment was based and which he violated was later declared unconstitutional as Johnson said it should be. Another consequence was that the succession of the presidency was changed to put the Senate pro temp behind the Speaker of the House. In Johnson's day, the Senate pro tempore would have become President if Johnson was removed and the man voted to oust Johnson- a clear case of conflict of interest.

Andrew Johnson actually faced two different attempts to impeach him, neither of which were successful. Johnson's impeachments were based on political differences, not any particular "crime".

William Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. He was acquitted by the Senate.

No President has ever been removed from office successfully through impeachment, although Richard Nixon resigned under the threat of impeachment, but he was not actually impeached by Congress.

He started the Indian Removal Act and he did not want the 15th amendment to pass.

Johnson believed that 'restoration' (as opposed to the term 'reconstruction') meant rebuilding the nation, restoring loyalty to the union, and abolishing slavery. (Note: Abolishing slavery and black equality aren't the same thing)

Claiming to follow Lincoln's original plan, which congress had believed to be too lenient as it was, Johnson submitted two proclamations which were even more lenient than Lincoln's.

The first required white southerners to take loyalty oaths in order to regain their civil and political rights and their property, with the exception of slaves. He excluded certain ex-Confederate civil and military officials from this pardon; they were required to obtain special pardons from the president himself.

The second proclamation outlined the terms for a state's readmission into the country. The president appointed to each state a governor, who was responsible for calling a convention to amend the state's antebellum constitution, ensuring each state a republican for of government. (as outlined in the constitution)

Once the states complied with these terms, Johnson would recognize their statehood and 'restoration' would be complete. He also said that those states which had completed Lincoln's original 10% Plan had, in his eyes, completed the process of readmission and were not required to fulfill his terms.

Andrew Johnson had a very contentious relationship with a Radical Republican Congress. He was charged with not following proper procedure by violating the Tenure of Office Act, when he fired Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War. This became of the first impeachment of an American president.

He was a tailor and ran a tailor shop before he entered politics. He served in the state house of TN, served as governor and US Senator from TN before he was president. Of course, his last job before becoming president was that of vice-president.

If you're referring to President Andrew Johnson, no one killed him. He was Abraham Lincoln's Vice-President, and assumed the office of President after Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in 1865. Andrew Johnson died of a stroke in 1875.

I remember him as an honest public servant who was fell into an impossible position but did the best he could to do the right thing. I admire him considerably more than I do the leaders of Congress who impeached him. Of course, I am not history and am not sure that I can speak for her.

The president was found innocent by one vote.

James Weldon Johnson became the first African-American to be the executive secretary of the NAACP. He was also very popular for his writing which included poetry, prose, and various songs. He was a great leader for the civil rights movement.

At first, the Republicans were pleased because Johnson stated he wanted to deal harshly with leaders of the Confederacy, calling for the hanging of its President, Jefferson Davis, and other high officials, for treason.

They became less pleased when newly instated President Johnson took a soft approach toward the states, and advocated leniency and reconciliation with the states and its citizens, who had been "mislead and deceived." Despite his brash talk, Johnson pardoned many Confederate leaders, making him forever the mortal enemy of the (Radical) Republicans in Congress.

If the question relates to US President Thomas Jefferson, he is almost universally portrayed in epic proportions as an American Hero. (Certainly there have been Jefferson's who do not rank so well. Jefferson Davis as the President of the Confederate States of America comes to mind and Jefferson Airplane, was neither heroic or villainous but produced good psychedelic rock music in the 60's.)

One of his brothers name was William. He and Andrew ran away from the tailor they were working for.

He was not noted for his athletic prowess.

There is very little information about Andrew Johnson's personal life including what he did in his free time. This could be because there was a lot going on during his term that required full attention to his Presidency. This could have left him with very little free time for personal luxuries and entertainment. This could also be because he was a private person who did not allow knowledge about his personal life to be public information.

Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States, was 6 ft., 1 in. tall (185 cm).

Reconstruction was the major domestic issue during Andrew Johnson's presidency. It was during his presidency that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments went into effect.
