After the assassination of President Lincoln, his vice president, a man with loyalties to the south and no sympathy for African Americans assumed the highest office. President Andrew Johnson's 1865 pardons of former Confederates, and his veto of Civil Rights Legislation, because it called for equality between blacks and whites, offended African Americans.
