[home] Polk, James Knox - 11th U.S. President Born 2 November 1795 Died 15 June 1849 Term 1845 to 1849 Through a compromise with the British over a northern border, Polk managed to gain the territory which now make up Washington and Oregon. This made Polk the first president to run the country extending from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Pacific Ocean. It was during President Polk’s term in 1845 that the abolitionist and escaped slave Frederick Douglass wrote his autobiography, endangering his own freedom by doing so. President Polk believed that the United States had a "manifest destiny" to expand. His attempts to gain more of Texas, New Mexico, and California led to the Mexican War. The invention of the revolver by Samuel Colt helped the U.S. to win this war and gain five hundred thousand square miles of land. Polk had promised to serve only one term in office. True to his word he retired at the end of his term. He died only three months after

The Seventeenth President Of The United States Andrew Johnson Term: 1865 - 1869 First Lady: Eliza McCardle Johnson Vice President: No Vice President Did you know. . . ? Congress became determined to fight the readmission of the Southern states by Johnson's lenient standards, and it refused to seat any representatives from the South. The move angered President Johnson, and political volleying between the legislature and the executive office began. Ultimately it was Congress that determined the processs by which the Southern states were readmitted. By the summer of 1868 the legislatures of seven (of 11) Southern states had approved the Fourteenth Amendment. The remaining four states, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, complied with the requirements for statehood by 1850, at which time the Union was restored and Congressional representatives from the South were again welcomed in Washington.

ANDREW JOHNSON 17th President of the United States Andrew Johnson was a poor tailor in Tennessee whose wife taught him to read and write. A fast learner with a flair for oratory, he worked his way up to the U.S. Senate. In the Civil War he was the only Southern Democrat to support Abraham Lincoln , and was chosen for the vice-presidency in 1864. When Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, Johnson became President, but clashed with Radical Republicans, who held a majority in congress. They passed the Tenure of Office Act in 1867, restricting presidential powers, and when Johnson defied them, he was impeached in 1868. A few months later the Senate acquitted him by one vote. He was succeeded in office by Ulysses S. Grant Extra credit : In 1875, former President Johnson was elected to the U.S. Senate from Tennessee.

History through the eyes of those who lived it 19th Century Washington D.C., 1800 A Duel At Dawn, 1804 Aboard a Slave Ship, 1829 ... 1st to Sail Around the World Alone, 1895 Senator Ross, the man whose vote saved President Johnson, was ostracized and physically attacked in his native Kansas. Unable to gain re-election, or to achieve any economic success, he died in poverty. Johnson was not nominated to run for re-election in 1868. He returned to Tennessee where he successfully ran for the U.S. Senate in 1874. He gave his last speech on the Senate floor in March 1875 and died of a stroke in Tennessee shortly thereafter. The Trial of Andrew Johnson, 1868 D uring Andrew Johnson's rise to political power, the former senator and military governor of Tennessee and Abraham Lincoln's vice-president had become an advocate of the small farmers over the large planters, but he shared the racial attitudes of most white yeomen farmers. "Damn the negroes," proclaimed the War Democrat to a friend during the war, "I am fighting those traitorous aristocrats, their masters." His tough talk about the rebel leaders initially delighted the Radical Republicans. They soon changed their minds when Johnson revealed his beliefs about readmitting the Southern states to the Union. The Radicals, long involved in the antislavery cause, were less than pleased to hear the strict constitutionalist Johnson argue that "there is no such thing as reconstruction. Those states have not gone out of the Union. Therefore reconstruction is unnecessary."

History - Articles Andrew Jackson - The Worst President The Cherokee Ever Met by Christina Berry The title of worst US president is hotly debated and is most often awarded to Andrew Johnson or Warren Harding. Many polls and studies rank Andrew Jackson in or near the top 10 best presidents. However, to many Cherokees Andrew Jackson is without a doubt the worst US president. Some Cherokees would rather carry two ten-dollar bills or twenty one-dollar bills than carry a single twenty-dollar bill. Why? Because the US has chosen to commemerate Jackson's presidency by putting his face on the twenty dollar bill. So why is Jackson so disliked by the Cherokee? Oddly enough, at one point the Cherokee were allies with Andrew Jackson. It was at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend where Andrew Jackson's famous story really began. He was considered a hero after his victory in this battle against the Creek Indians, a victory he would not have attained had it not been for his Cherokee allies who fought alongside him. Several years later in 1828 Andrew Jackson was elected president. His popularity and subsequent election are largely attributed to his pro-Indian removal platform. Once in power he began to allow whites to move onto Cherokee land. He also allowed Georgia to extend state law to include the Cherokee Nation. This called into question Cherokee sovereignty and declared their government and laws void.

Gilder Lehrman Home Hypertext History ... Back to Great Debates Should Andrew Johnson have been impeached? Andrew Johnson was the first American president ever to be impeached. He escaped conviction and removal from office by a single vote. Was Johnson's only crime, as many white Southerners insisted, a principled defiance of vengeful and fanatic Republican radicals? Or was he a villain, as his critics charged, who undermined efforts to protect the civil rights of the freedmen and who fueled Southern resistance to Reconstruction? The only Southern senator to remain loyal to the Union during the Civil War, Johnson served as military governor of Tennessee after Union troops took over the state. In 1863, Johnson openly called for the abolition of slavery. Because Johnson was a staunch unionist and a Democrat, Lincoln chose him as his running mate in 1864 in order to broaden his base of appeal. Lincoln's assassination made Johnson president. At first, Johnson adopted a harsh attitude toward the South, declaring that "traitors must be impoverished....They must not only be punished, but their social power must be destroyed." He offered rewards for the capture of Jefferson Davis and other Confederate officials and when he declared an amnesty, he announced that leading Confederates would have to appeal personally to him for a pardon. Soon, Johnson's position softened. He pardoned 13,000 Confederate officials whom he had earlier labeled traitors, restoring their property and political rights. The Southern state proceeded to elect many of these ex-Confederates to state office. Others were named to leadership positions in state militias. Nine were elected to the U.S. Congress, including Alexander Stephens, the former Confederate Vice President.

Now, johnson faced trial before the us Senate. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/grant/peopleevents/e_impeach.html

On February 24, 1868, something extraordinary happened in the U.S. Congress. For the first time in history, the United States House of Representatives impeached a sitting president, Democrat Andrew Johnson. Now, Johnson faced trial before the U. S. Senate. If convicted, he would be removed from office. Vice President Johnson had assumed office after John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln , on April 15, 1865. He was a Union man, but his roots were in the South. "This is a country for white men," he had reportedly declared, "and as long as I am president, it shall be a government for white men." Johnson had failed to win favor with the Radical Republicans. The radicals, who included men like Thaddeus Stevens and Benjamin Butler, wanted to guarantee the rights of the freedmen. One way they tried to do so was by passing the Reconstruction Acts, laws that provided suffrage to freed slaves and prevented former Southern rebels from regaining control of the state governments. Believing the Acts to be wrong and unconstitutional, Johnson repeatedly blocked their enforcement. He repeatedly gave pardons to ex-Rebels. He hampered military commanders' efforts to block the rise of Southern leaders to power. In frequent speeches and interviews, Johnson publicly expressed his defiance of the Radical Republicans. They knew that their program for reconstruction of the South could not succeed with Andrew Johnson in office. The final blow came after the passage of the Tenure of Office Act in 1867. This law made it impossible for the president to dismiss important government officials without the permission of the Senate. In a move than infuriated Congressmen, Johnson defied the act.
