Johnson’s main issue was how to readmit the Southern states and how to respond to those who rebelled. Andrew Johnson wanted to be more lenient with the Southerns than the legislative branch desired. He was a strong supporter of states rights, and still believed that states should decide on the suffrage of former slaves.<\/p>\n

In an effort to ensure that Republicans would remain in power, the Radical Republicans of congress sought to enfranchise all black people, who would most likely vote for Republicans. They succeeded, even overturning Johnson’s vetoes, through their passage of the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n

After Congress overturned Johnson’s veto of the Tenure of Office Act in 1867, Andrew Johnson reacted by attempting to fire the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. In response, in 1868 Congress tried to impeach him for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The impeachment trial lasted from March through May. The House of Representatives voted to impeach him but the Senate was short one vote of the two-thirds majority required to impeach him.<\/p>\n
