While it is commonly known that Andrew Johnson was the first
president to be impeached, less well known are the circumstances
that led to the unsuccessful campaign to remove him from office.
This account of Johnson's political life in Washington (including
brief coverage of his early career in Tennessee) focuses on his
conflict with the Radical Republicans, a group of fanatical
abolitionists who, after Lincoln's assassination, sought to
dominate American government and punish the South as harshly as
possible. Johnson's focus on healing the nation and his refusal to
submit to the Radicals? demands led to his impeachment. Though
Johnson was acquitted, his impeachment clearly illustrates the
danger when one branch of government tries to dominate the others.
This chronicle of the first U.S. presidential impeachment covers in
detail the political forces that nearly removed him from office.
Numerous illustrations, a bibliography and an index are included.
