Scenarios about 'Andrew Johnson'
Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States who assumed office following Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865. His presidency was marked by bitter conflicts with the Radical Republicans over Reconstruction policies, culminating in his impeachment in 1868, though he was acquitted by a single vote.
