Andrew Johnson’s Reconstruction explained.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary In the third episode of Manhunt, Edwin Stanton proposes his and Abraham Lincoln's Reconstruction plan to the new president, Andrew Johnson, however, Johnson admits that his and Lincoln's opinions differed greatly when it came to dealing with the Confederate South post-war, and ultimately, his real-life method of Reconstruction led to his ruin. Manhunt is a new historical drama now streaming on Apple TV+.
Johnson left the chaos of the South to state governments, then offered amnesty to ex-Confederate rebels, without any new laws supporting the freedmen. The South quickly passed state laws called Black Codes that bound Black individuals to property, wrongly imprisoned them, and forced them into labor. Furthermore, given free rein of their governments, Southerners attempted to put former Confederate leaders in positions of power, both on the state level, and federally. These actions outraged the Union, who saw that the South was not repentant for what they had done, or paying for their actions.
Why The Presidential Reconstruction Led To Andrew Johnson's Impeachment In March 1867, Andrew Johnson faced his first impeachment inquiry, based on how he handled the Reconstruction of the United States. Although this inquiry turned up nothing, it was far from his first. After Johnson attempted to fire Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and once again offered amnesty to Confederate leaders, a second impeachment trial occurred.
