david: i dig is fairly widely agreed and i certainly agree andrew johnson was ultimately a very negative force. certain strides have been made early in reconstruction to carry on lincoln's legacy, johnson quickly snuffed a lot of those out. people lost heart as well and reconstruction quickly tumbles toward jim crow and did not take that long. it was really under johnson that began. absolutely. >> you mentioned booth had many opportunities to actually assess the lincoln. do you think that because he was an incredible actor that he chose the theater to commit this final dramatic act and create the most dramatic spectacle which meant he was actually an actor along with the president so that he in the end would create an incredible thing even that he's a fantastic actor and is quite famous. david: not only that, but before he killed lincoln in the theater, he had a very elaborate plot of kidnapping lincoln by kidnapping one person and grabbing lincoln and if you can imagine lowering lincoln down to a waiting conspirator on the side of the stage. can you imagine lincoln dangling in the air?

certainly andrew johnson, his successor, was fairly inept about government reconstruction. nson destroyed radical reconstruction? he was a drunk and inept president. he was responsible for erasing a lot of the pattern that lincoln had already set. >> i dig is fairly widely agreed -- >> i think it's fairly widely agreed and i certainly agree andrew johnson was ultimately a very, very negative force and that certain strides had been made early in reconstruction to carry on lincoln's legacy but that johnson fairly quickly snuffed a lot of those strides out. a lot of people lost heart as well and reconstruction quickly just tumbles towards jim crow basically and it didn't take that long. it was really under johnson that began. that reaction and redemption all began under andrew johnson. so yeah absolutely. >> you mentioned booth had many opportunities to actually assassinate lincoln. i was wondering, do you think that because he was an incredible actor that he chose the theater to commit this final dramatic act and create the most dramatic spectacle which meant that he was actua

andrew johnson was left alone for eight of the most critical months in u.s. history. even though republicans would fight johnson to the nl when they returned, many ex -confederates who had been expecting the worst were now emboldened and ready to obstruct republican initiatives by any means necessary. when republicans return to congress in they refused to seat 1865, stevens and the other politicians. citing the authority of the constitution gives each house of congress to give the judge of the elections, congress told the south that they, not the president, would decide when the south would rejoin national government. after investigations by a joint committee on reconstruction determined that the situation in the south was appalling, that white southerners had not reach out -- renounce the session and that the lives of black leaders and northern men were not secure, a titanic struggle between the republicans of congress and president johnson over the fate of reconstruction and by extension the meaning of the civil war, ensued. in june 1866, over a year after the war en

a combination of andrew johnson him and him and will a combination of andrew johnson in the white house and parson brownlow as the governor will help that for a brief period of time. the electorate is disenfranchised and the unionist majority has a stranglehold on the government, and they work very quickly to try and cooperate with federal policy that is being fashioned by washington, d.c. the centerpiece of that is as professor lovett was suggesting, the 14th amendment. every state who participated in the rebellion would have to agree to that in order to be enfolded again in the national government. nashville acted very quickly to do that, so tennessee is the first state to ratify the 14th amendment. and in so doing that, tennessee is able to escape from implications passed in march of 1867 called the first reconstruction act. the first reconstruction act establishes military rule for the defeated confederacy. the confederacy is divided into military diction -- military areas and they are subject to military rule. among all the confederate states, tennessee is the one that is not inclu

upon taking power, andrew johnson tried to define the meaning of the war unilaterally. he was only in office for one month when he announced a sweeping reconstruction policy. back in 1864, the republicans have selected johnson, a democrat as lincoln's buys presidential running mate to show unity. johnson was the only u.s. senator from a seceded state who had remained in the senate rather than resigned and joined the confederacy. as vice president, johnson had talked tough about the need to punish the south. treason must be made odious, he said. traders must be punished and impoverished. their plantations must be seized and divided into small farms and sold to honest, industrious men. in may 1865, president johnson announced a policy so lenient to the south that it left republican supporters flabbergasted. he offered amnesty to most former confederates. all text confederates had to do was swear an oath of renewed allegiance to the united states and they would be allowed back in as if nothing had happened. the only exceptions to this policy were high-ranking civil military

he did not know andrew johnson. they did not get along. on inauguration day -- in those days, vice presidents issued their inaugural address before the president -- johnson either was drunk or was taking medicine for a cold or flu which was his excuse. most historians think he was drunk. i can't tell you whether it was medicine or alcohol. whatever it was, he babbled through his inaugural address which was a disgrace, and lincoln said i never want anything more to do with him. he never saw him again until april 14, 1865. johnson came to see lincoln and said he wanted lincoln to be tougher towards the south and not be as friendly towards african-americans. in johnson's words, i went to induce lincoln not to be lenient with traitors. johnson was staying at the kirkwood hotel and a strange thing happened. a visitor showed up. john wilkes booth. he left a message with the desk clerk for johnson, saying i do not wish to disturb you. historians to this day do not know what that was about. did he think atzedrot would not do it? did he want people

andrew johnson was a united states senator when the war began. served as military governor of tennessee and then became vice president and president shortly after the war is over and then parson brownlow who spent part of his youth in tennessee and lands in knoxville and becomes a leading unionist there as well. and in march of 1865 sworn in as governor of tennessee. so you have a political situation and immediate aftermath of the war and which for all practical purposes only the state's unionists have any political voice. the sort of combination of andrew johnson of the white house and parson brownlow in the governor's mansion really will guarantee that for a brief period of time. so you have a situation which the vast majority of the state's electorate is franchised. they worked very quickly to try to cooperate with the federal policy that's being fashioned by the republican majority in congress in washington d.c. the center piece of that is professor levitt has suggested is the 14th amendment passed by congress in 1866 and the republican major

andrew johnson says yeah, you can use the force of the military. use the force luke. sorry. [laughter] there is more where that came from. i was terrible. [laughter] in all seriousness, the issue is that the lesson, if there is such a thing to be learned from history, is that often times the task is far greater than you could possibly imagine. and often times, the work required to do what you think is necessary is far greater than you can imagine. and you want to approach the tasks with humility. and honesty and the clarity of purpose that is not clouded by a variety of limiting processes. in american reconstruction, the fault on the ground -- default on the ground was that having any troops whatsoever in the american south is foolhardy. it turns out there was not enough to do the job. in our own time, a little bit of caution, thinking that maybe this will be harder than we think is a useful concept. dr. groce: greg uses the concept that peace would follow, not create world. it is interesting when you think that lessons or experiences recently in which we declared a war to b

just as andrew johnson is going out of office, he pardons those four. i should say michael o'laughlen did not live. he died in 1867 of typhoid. dr. mudd while in prison in florida had a role in saving lives during this time due to the yellow fever epidemic. the four sentenced to death by hanging, july 7, 1865, at fort mcnair i believe it is. with that, i will close and open it up to questions. >> [indiscernible] on the building of the ford's theatre, the old picture of it there were three structures. do you know the use of those? the four sentenced to death by hanging, july 7, 1865, at fort mcnair i believe it is. with that, i will close and open it up to questions. >> [indiscernible] on the building of the ford's theatre, the old picture of it there were three structures. do you know the use of those? were those for drawing cooling air up through the building? eric martin: on top? yes. the question was, yes, i'm not sure what the term is, like cubicles, that allowed cool air to get into the building during the sweltering heat that you see. there are th

secretary of state william seward and vice president andrew johnson.he also looks at a variety of larger assassination conspiracy theories. and talks about how lincoln's death altered american history. this event from the smithsonian associates is about two hours. prof. nurnberger: no event in american history that i can think of change the course of american history as much as a single event, as much as the assassination of abraham lincoln. maybe 9/11, maybe pearl harbor. but in terms of boom, one second, history changed -- abraham lincoln's plans for post-civil war america were to bring the southern states back into the union.

a then andrew johnson tried to implement a plan like that.s that that is what would have happened to lincoln. most historians don't agree with that now. they say what lincoln was doing uthern by offering a set of peace terms was encouraging southerners to throw in the towel. suffered e egregious defeats. and no reasonable southerner could believe they would win the war on the ground. m but that motive no longer existed once robert e. lee sur rended on april 9th. two days later, lincoln gave a hat speech in which he called for a new set of peace terms. one of those terms was that black people would be allowed to vote. for the first time publicly acknowledged that he supported black suffrage at least for those veterans of the union army and for the very intelligent by which we assume he meant the literate. and frederick douglas, who was dent in the audience that day heard the president give that speech. and he said that he and his fellow abolitionists were somewhat disappointed by the limited scope of lincoln's call for black voting rights. kno

she prevailed upon andrew johnson to get him out of jail. how these women are in and out of the white house all of the time just giving the president unsure did agree. it is guidance. i am so jealous. they just, they have complete access. and so after she gets her husband out of jail they have a tough time and he finally dies and she decides to move to new york where she had a job with the new york world as a journalist, and it was a huge scandal. the first lady of the confederacy moving to new york city, and people offered her a house in richmond and all that and she said she didn't want that. she wanted to move to new york. she had never been fully accepted by the south. her grandfather was the governor of pictures and she was always conflicted. she was never quite fair enough for the perfect southern belle. so i she's moving to new york she writes to her daughter incest, i am free, brown and 64 how i can do whatever i want to do.
