Andrew Johnson

National Union · First president impeached

Andrew Johnson took over after Lincoln was killed. He clashed so badly with Congress over how to rebuild the South that he became the first president to be impeached (put on trial) — though he was allowed to stay in office by a single vote.

Did you know?

He had been a tailor and once made his own suits.
