Description: ANDREW JOHNSON A HIGH QUALITY STEEL ENGRAVING BOOKPLATE FROM THE 1860'S!! PERFECT FOR FRAMING AS AN ART PRINT FOR YOUR DEN !! VERY ANTIQUE & OLD WORLD LOOKING. ITEM(s) OVER 135 YEARS OLD!! Andrew Johnson (1808-75) was the 17th president of the U.S. (1865-69); b. Raleigh, N.C. A self-educated tailor, he rose in Tennessee politics to become congressman (1843-53), governor (1853-57), and U.S. senator (1857-62). In Washington, Johnson voted with other Southern legislators on questions of slavery, but after Tennessee seceded (June 1861) he remained in the Senate and vigorously supported Pres. Lincoln, who appointed him (1862) military governor of Tennessee. As a Southerner and a war Democrat, he was an ideal choice as a running mate to Lincoln on the successful Union ticket in 1864, and he succeeded to the presidency after Lincoln's assassination. As president he was denounced by the radical Republicans for his Reconstruction program, and in 1866 his political power began to decline sharply. When Johnson tried to force Secy. of War Edwin M. Stanton-whom he rightly suspected of conspiring with congressional leaders-out of office, the radical Republicans sought to remove the president. On Feb. 24, 1868, the House passed a resolution of Impeachment against him. The most important of the charges, which were purely political, was that he had violated the Tenure Of Office Act in the Stanton affair. On Mar. 5 the Senate was organized as a court to hear the charges. The president himself did not appear. In spite of tremendous pressure brought to bear on several senators, the Senate failed to convict by one vote. Johnson's administration had some accomplishments, notably the purchase (1867) of Alaska. After his presidency he was returned (1875) to the Senate from Tennessee, but died shortly afterward.
