express believe -- relief, they and others think that lincoln would have been more lenient than andrew johnson. i've seen this all across my research. thank god johnson is president. he will treat the confederates as they deserve. it is true johnson hated the southern aristocracy. people didn't count on white mourners, johnson hated black people more than he hated the confederates. african-americans did not have that lag time. they figure that out. editors will say things like johnson is from the class of poor white southerners. they hate black people. they didn't make that mistake. white northerners think that he will get there -- give them there, pins. >> there was a window of a shop in mississippi after the assassination, black mourners looking at that picture of lincoln. a new york tribune reporter went and talked to them. they told him they were afraid for their future because lincoln was dead. the reporter told them not to worry because they had andrew johnson on their side. it was a striking transformation the first little while after the assassination with radical republicans liking an

and that puts andrew johnson in charge of reconstructing the union.ld have recalled congress that you did not want to have any part of that because he believes that government should protect property. he is terrified of republicans because they are enormously popular. if they bring homesteads and education to the south democrats will never be elected again. andrew johnson attacks the republican idea of using the government to promote equality of opportunity by insisting -- and this is crucially important -- that what the republicans are really doing is not creating equality of opportunity for all men -- we will not talk about women at all today although i can if you want to -- what they are really doing is redistributing wealth to keep themselves in power. exactly what james henry hammond said what happened when he said it in the cotton is king speech that you cannot let the poor people have power because it will redistribute wealth. he says this is an attempt by republicans to redistribute tax dollars to african-americans. that should sound fairly fa

andrew johnson, of course, was from north carolina. he was known to be from north carolina, when he was in the senate higher to lincoln's election. in lincoln had a different vice president his first term, i believe it was in man named hamlet. how was it that hamlin got dumped, and the republican party picked a southerner to be vice president, who was one heartbeat away from managing the free world? >> is a fascinating and cap located character. johnson is a southern senator from tennessee when the war starts. he a jacksonian democrat who has come to power on representing the human. -- the yeowman. he talks very tough against the planter elite, who seem to resent a great deal. johnson is the only southern senator just stick with them union in 1861. he is rewarded by lincoln and the union administration by being made governor of tennessee. as military governor, the rules of the pretty heavy hand. he does the bidding of the republican administration and lincoln. johnson had owned a few slaves but he comes even to embrace emancipation as

he schedules a special meeting with president andrew johnson. they unanimously reject the sherman agreement. keep in mind, lincoln's body is still lying in the capital at this point. as sherman finds out, there is not a lot of warm and fuzzy feeling up north about southerners. secretary of war conducts grant to go to north carolina to take over from sherman. grant and sherman being, grant will not subject is friend to that -- his friend to that deletion. he heads south and tells sherman that the deal is alice -- off. in accordance, a he has to give johnston 48 hours notice that hostility will resume unless johnston accepts appomattox terms. sherman decides that is just the way it has to be. he sent a message to johnston. sherman's message arrives at headquarters one hour after davis'telegram accepting the terms. now there is nothing left for the men to do. they have to meet again at the bennett house on april 26. now they have to hammer out an agreement based on the appomattox terms. initially, johnston says he does not -- it does not offer his

andrew johnson was not the kind of accommodater or brilliant politician lincoln was. he had tremendous fights with congress, to girly the lincoln facti -- particularly the lincoln faction who wanted a tougher stance with the south. johnson was not very deft at this. he had problems with appointments and ran afoul of the senate. it was a rather technical issue of his appointments that caused the impeachment. underneath that was this tremendous stirring of animosity towards him because of his handling his ham-handed handling of reconstruction because he was allowing the south to do things with former slaves that lincoln would not have allowed, for all we know. people in the north felt that he was letting the south off much to easily -- too easily. there was tremendous animosity towards johnson. that is why the impeachment occurred. clinton was impeached by the house. the way our system works, the house brings charges impeachment, and the senate decides what the punishment should be. in clinton's case, as in johnson's case, the senate decided not to remove him. that is th

all of president andrew johnson do. -- what would president andrew johnson do? what would happen the next day. trepidation was particularly acute for african-americans. black leaders hesitated -- criticize the hesitation for emancipation but lincoln had been influenced the conviction of black-and-white evolutionists -- evolutionists -- abolitionists. one boy echoing the fear of grown-ups around him asked if he would have to be a slave again. i knew when i began my research at the principal responses of mourners would be shocking grief. people were astonished astounded, stupefied. these are all the things they wrote in their diaries and letters. people wrote that word of lincoln's death was like a dagger to the heart and a thunderclap from a clear blue sky. it was a dreadful dream, a play on the stage. today we would say i felt like i was in a movie. it was a joke, a hoax, a lie and in particular for former slaves, it was a falsehood propagated by secessionist whites. one former slaves that even the trees were weeping for lincoln. by the rules of dominant america

andrew johnson brought up alcohol probably saved his life. the guy who was opposed to kill him got drunk and chickened out. he never would have been president. my question is teddy roosevelt mother was a southern belle from georgia. is that why he got into the mint juleps? he was probably exposed to them when he was growing up. mark: that's a good question. teddy was very proud of his southern roots. he was definitely introduced to any southern hospitality when i came around to drinking. for that matter, woodrow wilson as well. as a boy, we remember robert e lee coming through his town with the confederate cavalry. it's also interesting the bottom of the relatives of the presidents often had alcohol problems. that is kind of a common thread that i found throughout the book. not just with teddy roosevelt but with other people -- johnson, andrew johnson son had a very bad outlaw problem. very common. also, what you brought up with andrew johnson escaping the assassination because the assassin got drunk. with lincoln, the irony was that he did n

in matters because -- it matters because andrew johnson finally goes away and u.s. grant is elected. u.s. grant is brilliant, a brilliant writer and he did something else, he won the civil war. [laughter] dr. cox-richardson: charles summer believes he should be in charge of the party and he hated grant. he used to poke fun at the backwards bumpkin. charles sumner wants to take over the party from grant and he uses the language of andrew johnson, the southern democrat the people afraid of tammany hall to attack grant's southern government. he says that grant is corrupt. he is only supporting african-american rights as he is trying to keep himself in power and he will be using tax dollars to provide goodies so they will continue to vote for him. they become instrumental in developing this idea of the republican government that helps african americans is corrupt. i put this other picture here because i love the juxtaposition of him and this other guy that is important american history, even though he is fond of him. that is joseph pulitzer. which is how all of this hit

there was little, if any indication that andrew johnson the new president was either capable or inclined rights of people of color. unfortunately, he met the expectations that african-americans had of his administration. the saving grace of his tenure however was his ineffective management of the so-called radicals in congress who weakens any power -- who weakens any power he might have been been expected to have. the time of progress was only a brief interlude in the continuing struggle for equal rights for next century. from the post-emancipation era and for most of the 20th century african-american men and women alongside nonblack supporters battled segregation of all kinds. they challenged employment discrimination. they fought against disenfranchisement. and suffered violence at the hands of those who would keep insubordinate. not only was there a denial of justice and opportunity to the black man that -- who had borne the battle but there was precious little for his widow and his orphan, or for the generations that followed. by the mid-20th century, the problems of black exclusion

very rapidly too, lincoln's successor, andrew johnson made it apparent his complete dismissal for calls of black equality. then i found african americans just as rapidly reached for lincoln. black petitioners told president johnson at he was replacing a man who had proved himself indeed our friend. reminding johnson of the liberty to us and our wives and our little ones by your noble predecessor. african americans and their white allies now upheld lincoln's vision of the world as a mondel of freedom and equality. they look to the emancipation proclamation and when can last speech. -- at lincoln's last speech. lincoln's more radical mourners oso looked to speech that had already become famous. the second inaugural address that he delivered six weeks before his assassination. there, lincoln had cleared that the war on the battlefield with last in jane's words,famous words " until every drop paid with the last is paid by the sword." he closed that address an appeal. and richard fox spoke these words is morning. these words were already famous when he was assassinated. malice towards non-an

andrew johnson called himself a jeffersonian. he said he loved jeffersonian theory about government, and the bedrock of that was a small government, nonintrusive. he's used by lots of people who take that view. that's his union. his union is a union -- >> well, the idea to take consent to its logical mean what does it mean? in some ways, enlightened people spontaneously form unions. maybe to better understand it, we have to think about the scottish enlightenment philosophy. we have to think about the new account of human nature, which is remarkably democratic in its implications, that is all of us have that kind of moral sense. that's crucial for politics, for understanding society itself because what it means is that we do not have to be ordered, governed and constrained to do the right thing. maybe the epitome of this enlightenment is the very idea of a market of transactions among equals to which all consent that are beneficial. when you think about the purity and the economists can't get over the purity of their account of th
