Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States Little is now known to the general public of the history of the attempt to remove President Andrew Johnson in 1868, on his impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial by the Senate for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors in office, or of the causes that led to it. Yet it was one of the most important and critical events, involving possibly the gravest consequences, in the entire history of the country. The constitutional power to impeach and remove the President had lain dormant since the organization of the Government, and apparently had never been thought of as a means for the satisfaction of political enmities or for the punishment of alleged executive misdemeanors, even in the many heated controversies between the President and Congress that had theretofore arisen. Nor would any attempt at impeachment have been made at that time but for the great numerical disparity then existing between the respective representatives in Congress of the two political parties of the country. One-half the members of that Congress, both House and Senate, are now dead, and with them have also gone substantially the same proportion of the people at large, but many of the actors therein who have passed away, lived long enough to see, and were candid enough to admit, that the failure of the impeachment had brought no harm to the country, while the general judgment practically of all has come to be that a grave and threatening danger was thereby averted. A new generation is now in control of public affairs and the destinies of the Nation have fallen to new hands. New issues have developed and will continue to develop from time to time; and new dangers will arise, with increasing numbers and changing conditions, demanding in their turn the same careful scrutiny, wisdom and patriotism in adjustment. But the principles that underlie and constitute the basis of our political organism, are and will remain the same; and will never cease to demand constant vigilance for their perpetuation as the rock of safety upon which our federative system is founded. To those who in the study of the country's past seek a broader and higher conception of the duties of American citizenship, the facts pertaining to the controversy between the Executive and Congress as to the restoration and preservation of the Union, set out in the following pages, will be interesting and instructive. No one is better fitted than the author of this volume to discuss the period of reconstruction in which, as a member of the Federal senate, he played so potent and patriotic a part, and it is a pleasure to find that he has discharged his task with so much ability and care. But it is profoundly hoped that no coming generation will be called upon to utilize the experiences of the past in facing in their day, in field or forum, the dangers of disruption and anarchy, mortal strife and desolation, between those of one race, and blood, and rationality, that marked the history of America thirty years ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Impeachment and Trial of Andrew Johnson, Seventeenth: President of the United States History The sudden collapse of the rebellion so soon after the second inauguration and the dispersion Of the Congress, left Lincoln, for the moment, absolute master of the whole field; and, during the few weeks he had yet to live, he made no uncertain record of what he meant to do. On the eleventh of April, 1865, in his last speech to the people of 'washington he suspended his congratulations on the surrender of Lee to commend his Louisiana experiment, announce the unanimity of his Cabinet on his reconstruction policy and express a modest hope that suffrage might be granted to the intelligent, and the Union soldiers, among the negroes. Once more, on the fourteenth, at the last meeting of his Cabinet, he directed the extension of his plan so as to take in the recovered state of North Carolina, and, with words Of charity even for the chiefs Of the over thrown Confederacy on his lips, he went forth unwit tingly to his death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, by the House of Representatives, and his trial by the Senate for high crimes and misdemeanors in office, 1868 is a book written about one of the most significant events in American history and one of the least understood. Andrew Johnson was the 17th President following the murder of Lincoln. As a Unionist, he was the only southern senator not to quit upon secession. He became the most prominent War Democrat from the South and supported the military policies of U.S. President Lincoln during the Civil War. His hurry to reincorporate the Confederate states back into the union, and his vetoes of civil rights bills put him in bitter dispute with the Republicans. The Radicals in the House of Representatives impeached him charging him with violating the Tenure of Office Act, a law enacted by Congress in March 1867 over Johnson's veto. He was acquitted by a single vote in the Senate.

As Abraham Lincoln's vice president, Johnson became president when Lincoln was assassinated. A Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket, Johnson came to office as the Civil War concluded. The new president favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union. His plans did not give protection to the former slaves, and he came into conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. The first American president to be impeached, he was acquitted in the Senate by one vote.
