One quick quibble: Lincoln and Johnson didn’t run on the Republican ticket, but a fusion “National Union” ticket in 1864. This was due to a split in the Democratic Party between peace Democrats who advocated a rapid end to the war and war Democrats, who supported Lincoln’s war policies (ironically, the peace Democrats nominated a war Democrat, McClellan, as their standard bearer). And no mention of the Swing Around the Circle speaking tour, which resulted in two of the impeachment articles...

Except that the articles relating to the Swing Around the Circle tour weren't even brought to the Senate floor when it was time to vote. It was mainly the violation of the Tenure of Office act that kicked off the impeachment proceedings.

I don't think you can call McClellan a 'war Democrat' if a war Democrat is one that supported Lincoln's war policies. By that point McClellan hated Lincoln, and believed that the war was unwinnable. And if Lincoln hadn't sacked him, he may have been right; McClellan was a political general who thought he was Napoleon's equal but really... wasn't.

I enjoyed this video quite a bit. it kept to the topic (johnson's impeachment, and no one's else), it was a pretty good run down on how the process has always been a bit wishy washy, defined by the contemporary house/senate, instead of something set in stone (which isn't what the forefathers imho had intended it to be). the only thing i would've like to have seen was a bit better explanation on what is a simple and super majority, a lot of people seem to think everything in congress is done via simple majority.

Probably at least a little, although that probably would have faded over time away from the intensity right after the Civil War. Nobody really cared much for keeping the Tenure of Office Act and system after Johnson left and presidential power would have still increased with later wars. Nixon was not outright impeached but resigned from the start of impeachment proceedings-and presidential power still pretty quickly increased after him.

@sailing smooth15 what do you mean “progressive?” Both parties have done progressive and conservative things in recent history and the Democrats have been consistently progressive since Woodrow Wilson, way before the 50s. Also, what do republicans conserve?

"Fighting Slavery" was not intended to give everyone equal rights. But renaming slaves "Wage Earners" (AKA Sharecroppers), allowed the Union to increase taxes in the South. Lincoln's Federal Income Tax Act considered 1/3 of the sale of cotton "wage earnings", or "taxable income". Which means every former slave "got" $1000 per year, hypothetically. Meanwhile, factory workers in the North made less than $800 per year, so they were exempt from the Federal Income Tax. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 kept blacks in the South until the Civil War. The Sharecropper's Debt Laws which followed, kept blacks in the South after the Civil War. So the slaves were never really set free by the Civil War. Which is odd, considering the Land Runs of the late 1800's, where land in the West was given away for free. "How many blacks participated in the land runs will likely always be a matter of debate. The 1890 Territorial Census of Oklahoma listed roughly 3,000 black residents. Of that number, only 42 were recorded as having entered the territory in April 1889 to file a claim."

This was mostly because of Johnson. Abe had the vision of, putting it in simple terms. giving everyone what they wanted. The slaves were freed and given land, the south would be unpunished and allowed in the Union in exchange for that and reconstruction of the south, the conservative republicans would have a end to the war and the radical republicans could create new anti slave legislation and help integrate them into America as brothers and sisters. But with Lincoln dead, Johnson took the plan and as a Kentucky democrat that had sympathies with the rebels, sided with them and undid all of that. So then the republicans went hard on the south, reconstruction was a disaster and only improved because of president Grant. But even then most of the progress that had been made was undone by Woodrow Wilson who serrated not only the south but the ENTIRE government, helped build the 2nd kkk and rewrote the history of the civil war to favor the south.

I'm from Nebraska. We're a state because the Radical Republicans needed two more Senators who would vote to convict Johnson. Nebraska may not be known for its radicalism now, but at the time, they literally created a Brown County and called its capital Johnstown while this was going down. Nebraska had no time for slaveowning America's nonsense.

The tenure of office act would be considered unconstitutional today. Stanton was clearing doing executive duties when leading the war department. Even if Stantons functions had been entirely legislative or judicial it’s still unconstitutional to have one man leading an executive agency independent of the president.

Tennessee has three informal divisions: East TN, Middle TN, and West TN. Two of these divisions supported secession, one did not. However the state government in Nashville did agree with secession. This may have had something to do with why Johnson did not side with the Confederacy.
