Price: $280.00
ANDREW JOHNSON.
Seventeenth President of the United States.
Engraving, unsigned. B/w, 6x8 overall, image 2¼x2½ (one surface). Johnson
represented Tennessee in the U.S. House (1843-1853) and Senate (1857-1862,
1875) and served twice as that State's Governor (1853-1857, 1862-1865). His
second term was as a Military Governor appointed by President Lincoln. A pro-war
Democrat fiercely opposed to secession but also opposed to imposition of a
stringent Reconstruction regime on the defeated South, Johnson was nominated
and elected in 1864 as Lincoln's second Vice President on a National Union
ticket. Following Lincoln's assassination, Johnson succeeded to the highest
office for a stormyl term (1865-1869) in which he was increasingly at odds with
the Republican majority in Congress. He was impeached by the House and
acquitted by the Senate (May 26, 1868), although a switch of one vote would have
secured the necessary two-thirds vote to remove him from office. Fine
condition. History for Sale watermark not present on original.
