Members of the Congress called Radical Republicans vowed to take control of Reconstruction.
Republicans were able to take control of Reconstruction because they had a solid majority - southern Democrats couldn't vote and northern Democrats had lost credibility (they were considered to be pro-Confederacy or, at least, in favor of settling the war vs. winning it). They did so out of profound philosophical differences with President Andrew Johnson over treatment of the former Confederate states and the newly-freed slaves.
i dont know either we are both dumb!😂
Congress had enough power to override Johnson's vetoes.
1988
He would help Republicans take control of Congress and he would gain more power.
1. Most of the northern states had elected Republican officials, which weren't to radical for the time. 2. Am I doing your homework?
The impeachment of Andrew Johnson in 1868 had significant effects on the Reconstruction Era by highlighting the deep political divisions in the country and setting a precedent for the balance of power between Congress and the presidency. Although Johnson was acquitted by one vote, the impeachment weakened his influence and allowed Congress, particularly the Radical Republicans, to take stronger control over Reconstruction policies. This shift led to more aggressive measures to protect the rights of freed slaves and enforce civil rights, ultimately shaping the course of Reconstruction and its legacy. The impeachment also intensified the conflict between the presidency and Congress, influencing future political dynamics.
