Andrew Johnson

1808–1875

View full profile →

Andrew Johnson (1808–1875) was the 17th President of the United States, succeeding Abraham Lincoln after his assassination. A self-taught tailor from Tennessee, he rose through Democratic politics as a staunch Unionist during the Civil War, but his lenient Reconstruction policies and clashes with Radical Republicans led to his impeachment. His presidency is remembered for its defense of states' rights and executive power, often at odds with Congressional authority.
