President Andrew Johnson appointed James Johnson as a provisional governor of Georgia in 1865 to help restore the state to the Union following the Civil War. Johnson, a Unionist with ties to the Democratic Party, was seen as a suitable candidate to oversee the transition and implement the president's Reconstruction policies. His appointment was part of Johnson's broader strategy to reintegrate Southern states while promoting loyalty to the Union and facilitating the establishment of new, loyal state governments.
