After the Civil War, several Confederate leaders were tried for treason, but only a few faced actual trials. The most notable was Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, who was imprisoned and charged with treason but was never tried in court. Ultimately, only a handful of lower-ranking officers were prosecuted, and most cases were either dismissed or resulted in no significant penalties. Overall, the trials were limited and did not result in widespread accountability for Confederate leaders.

Why has President Obama not been impeached and tried for treason?

Largely because he hasn't been charged with an impeachable crime or a treasonous offense. One cannot be tried for a crime simply because he is disliked. If they could, consider how many might be waiting in line to put you in prison.

Why were Republicans pleased when Andrew Johnson became President?

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.
