This paper represents an attempt to determine why Andrew Johnson's moderate policy for the reconstruction of the South failed. Because the paper is a study of Andrew Johnson, the politician, it dwells primarily only upon the political climate of 1865--although the importance of the social and economic changes occurring during reconstruction is recognized, they are herein treated only incidentally. In essence, the paper demonstrates the defeat of a politician. It is, furthermore, the contention of the paper that moderate reconstruction failed because of the ineffectiveness of its administrator--Andrew Johnson--not because of cabalistic intrigues hatched by those whom F.B. Simkins scoffingly calls "Carlyle's wild-eyed conspirators." Johnson was no helpless victim of the unconquerable radical forces about him, but became hopelessly ensnared in a defeat woven by his own inflexible, egotistical temperament which resulted in both political misjudgments and incompetent political maneuvers.

IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE CIVIL WAR, ANDREW JOHNSON BECAME THE ONLY UNITED STATES PRESIDENT EVER CHARGED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WITH "HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS." IN THIS ESSAY, THE AUTHOR EXPLAINS THE ORIGINS AND CAUSES OF THE JOHNSON IMPEACHMENT.

Black and white photograph of letter. "Whereas, Francisco Yturria of Brownsville, Texas, by taking part in the late rebellion against the Government of the United States has made himself liable to heavy pains and penalties. And whereas, the circumstances of his case render him a higher object of Executive clemency; Now therefore, be it known, that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States of American, in consideration of the premises, divers other good and sufficient reasons me __ moving, do hereby grant to the said Francisco Yturria a full pardon and amnesty for all offenses by him committed, arising from participation, direct or implied, in the said rebellion, conditioned as follows. 1st. This pardon to be of no effect until the said Francisco Yturria shall take the oath prescribed in the Proclamation of the President: May 29th, 1865. 2nd. To be void and of no effect if the said Francisco Yturria shall hereafter, at any time, acquire any property in slaves, or make use of slave labor." ; https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/yturriaphoto/1002/thumbnail.jpg
