Historical Context:
Andrew Johnson (1808–1875) assumed the presidency in 1865 following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, becoming the first U.S. president to be impeached. His presidency was dominated by the challenges of Reconstruction after the Civil War, as he clashed with Congress over policies regarding the reintegration of Southern states and the rights of formerly enslaved people. Though acquitted by a single vote in the Senate, Johnson’s tenure remains one of the most contentious in American history. His autograph represents a direct link to this turbulent and transformative period in the nation’s development.
