Editor's Take:
Andrew Johnson took office in the worst circumstances imaginable, after Lincoln's assassination. A self-educated tailor from Tennessee, he was the only southern senator to stay loyal to the Union. As president he clashed bitterly with Congress over the rights of freed slaves. He became the first president to be impeached, surviving by one vote. Historians rank his presidency among the least successful.
