Andrew Johnson (1808-1875) was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Rising from poverty, Johnson began as a tailor and entered politics in Tennessee. As a strong Unionist during the Civil War, he became Lincoln's vice president. Johnson's presidency was marked by clashes with Radical Republicans over Reconstruction policies, resulting in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. Though he survived the Senate trial, his legacy remains controversial, with some praising his efforts to restore the Union while others criticize his leniency towards the former Confederate states. Johnson passed away in 1875, leaving behind a complex and debated political legacy.
