of course, when i presented andrew johnson a greenville, said andrew johnson was a white supremacist i said these are harsh words. we should not say these things about him. and i said he says those things about himself. this is 1867, johnson wrote to congress subjugation of the states to need domination would be worse than the military -- and they suffer now. he said it would be worse, to give african americans the right to vote. that is worse than having what he considers military despotism. and hands tryouts, who's written probably the best biography to date of andrew johnson, his inclusion is that -- johnson's opposition to congressional reconstruction was not merely based on confidence scruples it also reflected his deeply racial prejudices. and, throughout the first couple years of his presidency, johnson as we saw earlier vetoed over 200 pieces of legislation. took many other steps to obstruct laws that were passed by congress. and tries to regularly interfere with military congress and civilian agencies trying to implement reconstruction. according to another historian, the pre

he's replaced by andrew johnson, his vice president. now, we're lucky today. before i talk about johnson, we're lucky because we actually have someone who works at the andrew johnson historic site. would you like to give us a brief synopsis of johnson's background. >> johnson originally born in raleigh, north carolina, in the early 1820s had actually grew up in north carolina but his father had died when he was very young so his mother had raised him, and -- and during this time she actually helped him find an apprenticeship for taylor and with this he moved all around the state. he actually moved to south carolina a few times, alabama a few times and got really exposed to the deep south in general and came back to north carolina and got another apprenticeship with another tailor. with the apprenticeship that was another form of basically slavery which another means. they were entitled to every wish of that master until they were 18. johnson decided to end up leaving raleigh, north carolina with his mother and his step-father and found his way into greenville.

and, haunts -- who has written the best biography of andrew johnson to date. e said johnson's opposition to congressional reconstruction was not really based on constitutional scruples, it also reflected his deeply felt racial prejudices. and, throughout the first couple of years of his presidency, johnson as we saw earlier he vetoed over two dozen pieces of congressional legislation. took many steps to obstruct laws passed by congress. and tries to regulate, and interfere with the military and congress and civilian agencies, trying to implement reconstruction, according to another historian, the president united states was consciously and determinately following a program to nullify congressional legislation, through the power of implementation. so we are linking, or where lincoln is conscious about stepping not stepping the browns, of what should be congress is role, johnson here is regulating the vote, through veto another means and trying to subvert what congress is doing. with regard to reconstruction. and one of the republican congressman said if the hous

. >>> up next, andrew slap of east tennessee state university teaches a class on lincoln, andrew johnson, and the constitution. he compares how both presidents have been portrayed as upholding or disregarding the constitution and whether their reputations matched their actions in office. >> good morning. thank you all for coming. today, we're transitioning in the course from civil war to reconstruction. because of that, it's a particularly good point in this course to talk about the big issue that goes throughout the civil war era. that we need to look at the antebellum period, the civil war and reconstruction that. question is the united states constitution. one of the things historians have been asking for generations

he certainly would have handled it much better than andrew johnson did, much better and i believe he would have wanted to support the friedman spiro and support the idea of 40 acres and a mule. he was said to believe in free labor. i think he would have tried to encourage the advance of formerly enslaved people both politically and economically and i think when push came to shove any have the resurgence of these white supremacist groups i think you would want to put it down fairly firmly at that point. i firmly believe that. what do you believe about that jim? >> well it's you say obviously there would have been a lot less drama between the white house and the president and whatever lincoln's racial views it wasn't the way hard-core andrew johnson was. >> you never expressed himself in favor of the lander institution and it was a little bit outside the mainstream of the republican party. even sherman ordered carefully. very clear it was a contingent and a grant of land. he can't actually give the land outright. but i doubt if he would have done what he did. >> and yet he signed the h

jury, determination of the district court case left it solely with judge andrew jackson, the -- andrew johnsonon was appointed by president andrew jackson in 1836, prior to that, he was well-known for his efforts to shut down a connecticut school established by abolitionist for the education of african-american girls. nor were the men's lawyers encouraged by the activities of the van buren administration. the president ordered the positioning of a neighboring -- navy ship so that the captives could be removed immediately if the judge ordered that return to cuba. when judson, convened a district court session, he faced one of the largest crowds ever assembled to view a federal court proceeding. most of the spectators supported the abolitionists and follow the case so intently that they refused to leave their seats during the midday recess. the team of experienced lawyers recruited by the abolitionist committee was led by roger sherman baldwin, son of a famous political family. baldwin and his colleagues followed the legal strategy based on personal liberties and the laws of property. their prio

jim, i don't know if you agree with me, look, he certainly would've handled it much better than andrew johnson did, much better. and i believe that he would've wanted to support the freedmen's bureau and support the idea of 40 acres and a mule. he was such a believer in free labor. i think he would've tried to encourage the advance of formally enslaved people, their advancement both politically and economically. i think when push came to shove when you had the resurgence of these white supremacist groups i think he would have put his foot down fairly firmly at that point back. i firmly believe that. what you're is your feeling ab, jim? >> well, it's as you say it's all counterfactual. obviously they would've been a lot less drama between the white house and the president because whatever, whatever lincoln's racial views, he was not a a hard-core racist the way andrew johnson was, as you said. i don't know about the 40 acres and a mule. he never expressed himself in favor of land redistribution and it was a little bit outside the mainstream of the republican party politics. even that sherman or

the only other president, andrew johnson, did not win re-election either. i am hoping historically, it becomes a cautionary tale for presidents. maybe it is not why voters cast their ballot on, if may hurt you with trump, it made some people in the back of their mind saying this is alarming, what if he gets re-elected. we learned latin. quid proquo. who heard of the emoll unemployment clause? who heard of that before donald trump. in the big picture, it may have had an impact in the back of people's minds. >> i wonder that if this election was more about the pandemic than anything else. i think it was. a lot of the exit polls suggested that. if it was a compilation of issues. we will never really know. we can make assessments on it the protests after we saw, after the killing of floyd, and breonna taylor. on and on. as we have protests, and i was covering the protests on the ground, we felt like we were at a turning point. it was different this time. real change, when it came to police brutality. change inside the police departments, change, in shifting the

it's a similar kind of event and that helps the radical republican pass reconstruction over andrew johnson's veto and i do not feel comfortable for the mechanics massacre. i want you to talk about that. >> so many of the disastrous plots of the national history are hidden behind curtains and this is one of many. here is the crux of it. it is not an overstatement to say that the rampages. in an immediate way they've cleared space for white lights throughout the generations down to our own. it is not the falsehood. the torment that people like he and his gangs perpetrated gives ordinary white folks including myself a greater sense of authority and security they were fighting to extend the authori authority. that is the net of it. >> one of the brutally honest passages you write whites are my people, my tribe, they were his people, his tribe in ways that he belongs to us and hundreds of millions. i know the honest way to regard race violence insists american history is full of it. it is pandemic the united states was founded upon racial violence. it is within the core of the national identity.

prove that what i say is wrong with that kind of thing, but lincoln was succeeded of course by andrew johnson, the vice president who became president when lincoln was assassinated. in the old view of reconstruction, johnson was sort of a hero. we tried to stand up to the radical republicans and keep them under the control. the radicals fooled him but he was the defender of the constitution. nowadays johnson is considered if not one of the worst, may be the worst president in american history. there are other contenders considered the worst but johnson is one of them. he was completely different from lincoln in every way. he was deeply racist, he was stubborn and unable to listen. he had no sense of public sentiment and ended up getting himself impeached. the way johnson did in 1866 and the basic principles before the law of citizenship there's no to reason to think that he had to oppose that in the way johnson did they never supported black suffrage before the civil war, black male suffrage in his last speech before his assassination he was moving towards a limited black suffrage and of the

mind speculating because nobody can prove that what i say is wrong, but lincoln was succeeded by andrew johnsonhis vice president when he was assassinated. in the old view of reconstruction. and tries to keep the south under the control of white americans. .. he was deeply racist. he was stubborn unable to listen to criticism, unable to change his mind. he didn't know how to work with congress. he had no sense of public sentiment. he ended up getting himself impeached the first president try before the senate and acquitted by the first one to be impeached. it's inconceivable lincoln would've got himself into that kind of fix. what might have happened? the battle between johnson and congress was really joined over the civil rights act of 1866 and the 14th amendment is taking 666. johnson opposed them, he told the civil rights act until the south to ignore them, to oppose them. lincoln would not have done that. these were mainstream republican measures. every republican in congress virtually voted for them. lincoln was a mainstream republican and would not of got himself completely alienated from

civil rights act in the history of this country, the civil rights act of 1866 gets passed over andrew johnson's veto and veto message giving civil rights to black people is favoring blacks over whites and you immediately get white democrats organizing to promote white supremacy. and you talk about how whiteness gets shaped. it's in opposition to black rights. there's a line early in the book where you talk about, i'm struggling to make the concept of whiteness as concrete as blackness, this submerged thing and you show all the ways in which culturally, whiteness is getting defined. can you talk about that? new orleans is a hot bed of pseudo race science, but this idea of whiteness and after reconstruction, it becomes much more potent. >> yeah, you know, well-- many of white people then and now do not regard themselves as part of a racial group. we, as whites, afternoon think that the people of color are those who inhabit race and whites are know the part of a racial group, but you he had referred to in the book, i'm trying to make white racial identity as visible, as con speck use to us as afri

career was how he was able work against -- was a bulwark against some of the misplaced ideas of andrew johnson, including going to him to objective very firmly to certain actions, either preventing them or getting them reversed. of course, it's accurate to say -- the man whon saved the union. it is accurate to say that he did. he insured that the battles were won in the summer and fall of 1864 that ensured lincoln won reelection, running of course against mcclellan, who said he would sue for peace with the south if elected. sherman not only hated politicians, he hated washington. when he was chief of staff with the army, he moves the army headquarters out in kansas. at fort leavenworth. john: actually, st. louis, yes. -- the thinging about leavenworth is accurate too. he believed soldiers should be professionals. what better place than fort leavenworth? that's good. gen. petraeus: both sherman and grant had these great overseas travels. have suchant's trip an and norma's impact on the u.s. -- an in norma's impact on the u.s. role in the world but sherman's did not? john: as you know, grant mad

there is a reason from andrew johnson until richard -- until bill clinton and richard nixon, abuse of office, but once this is opened up it is going to be out there. they are going to wait to get one of our guys in the future. same with president trump. whatever happened in that ukraine conversation i read it a , million times. nothing there justified removing a president of the united states. it was partisan. it really was partisan. once the vote was held it was , never mentioned again. it was not even mentioned once during the campaign. it was a climactic moment. they voted on the house floor to impeach a president and in the senate to acquit him and it was , all forgotten. we managed to trivialize probably the most important and decisive action a congress can take against the president. host: peter king would you , compare our current situation with covid to 9/11 or any other time in your history? rep. king: 9/11 was more, personally -- it was over within two hours. thousands of people were killed. many of whom i knew, and that was a devastating attack. of somethingthing positive c

just to stick with you, julian, andrew johnson had a tantrum and refused to attend the inauguration of grant. is there any other example of that? >> there's really not. if you take 1860 and the literal breakdown of the republic, this is not what presidents can do. they can be angry, tense with the incoming administration, but they either focus for policies that they didn't get done, either through executive orders or through legislation, or they fade away quietly and help with the transition. this destructive moment of instability is not part of our presidential history, and he's just added it to the textbook. >> mackinnon, after you worked for kris kristofferson, you worked for george w. bush and john mccain. that republican party that took patriotism, honor and duty seriously, is that m.i.a. for good because of the sway trump has had on the base and the fear it's inspired on so many? >> it's going to be m.i. acres longer than i thought. it's quite clear he's not going anywhere. he'll be at mar-a-lago, but a presidency in exile. he'll say he's running right up until he doesn't in orde

andrew johnson pardoned anybody that had anything to do with the confederacy. jimmy carter gave amnesty for anybody who evaded the draft. >> monica, has the white house had anything more to say about the pardon headlines? >> reporter: kayleigh mcenany was asked about this by kristin welker to give us anymore information about whether pardons were discussed, who was in the discussions, was this brought up yesterday with the attorney general. kayleigh mcenany said she couldn't comment on that and she wasn't aware of any individuals, whether the president's oldest children are part of the calculation for potential pardons. she said the only pardons she was aware of was michael flynn which was issued in the last week. the other person in the mix is rudy giuliani, the president's personal attorney, who denied he's discussed this with the president, even though we know from a source familiar with the matter that this has been floated. it's something that's being weighed and discussed. now you have the white house on the record pushing back that they're not aware of i

grant revoked a series of pardons andrew johnson issued in his final days in office. rationale, they had not been formally delivered and accepted. that likely would not apply here. there are real practical problems with the idea of revoking a was pardoned while serving their jail sentence and that pardon's revoked? what if a person's pardoned while charges are pending and then the pardon is revoked? does that person have to be tried years later? and the most important practical question is, does joe biden have the political appetite to take on this particular fight? that seems fairly unlikely to me. >> one quick follow-up from me elie, because there's been questions about whether president trump is going to preemptively pardon his own children. is that legal? >> amara, as the anchor, you have free rein. you can have ask anything you want. it would be historical stain. it would be outright self-dealing but we have seen preemptive pardons before, most famously when ford pardoned nixon. it can only cover federal crimes, not state crimes so the ongoing investigations from

it was andrew johnsen in 1869, an impeached andrew johnson, like donald trump was impeached.as embarrassed. didn't show up. went back to tennessee and ran for the senate from tennessee to kind of get back at washington culture. you might see donald trump hold a, i don't want to call it a counterinaugural, but he might very well be in florida and do some sort of event to step on biden's message that day. donald trump is a media maven. he knows a lot of eyeballs will be on television for the inaugural. i'm sure he'll want to disrupt it in his own special way, and he can do that by not being in washington, d.c. the idea he's going to be a big boy and go shake the hand of joe biden say, you're the president, seems unlikely at this juncture. >> doug, thank you as always. great to have you on and talk about this. >> thanks, brianna. take care. >>> next, attorney general william barr uses his resignation letter to lavish praise on president trump. we're going it read between the lines. >>> plus, the clock is still ticking for congress to get relief to the americans struggling in thi

they quickly become disen chanted with andrew johnson. it's hard to come down hard on grant and sherman, because everyone knew those policies were done in consultation with lincoln. you have a martyred president. i have one more question, but any other questions from our audience? they can come to appomattox to ask you in person. >> i do have a confession. i have never been to appomattox. >> oh, my god, john. what is? >> never. i've never been to appomattox. i've been to so many eastern front battlefields. eastern theater. never been to appomattox. >> you haven't even seen the war. >> i know. i've never finished it. >> john, it's okay. you've been to ottawa. >> that makes up for everything. >> come on down any time. >> after this pandemic is over, i'm sure i will. >> we should do a live show down there. >> i've said that. i said i want to bring out folding chairs and set it up like a lawn party. >> so i've got another question. >> go ahead, pete. >> so, beth -- >> yeah? >> talk to us about what it means to be a woman historian practicing

president andrew johnson granted a blanket pardon to anybody involved with the confederacy during the civil war president carter granted unconditional pardons to men who evaded the draft during the vietnam war. most famously of all, gerald ford gave richard nixon a pardon for conducted related to the watergate scandal that led to house impeachment proceedings. michael flynn's pardon applied to anything investigated by robert mueller's teams and legal experts say pardon could even cover any offenses, any offenses committed during a given time such as a president's term in office without mentioning any specific conduct. that's a long way of saying that the answer to your question is, yes. >> thanks so much. >>> the state of our climate, why the u.n. secretary-general says the human race is on a suicide mission. that's next. >>> plus - >> we all knew that it was going to have this surge again. >> a growing crisis. we go inside a hospital icu overwhelmed by covid and everything else. >> they have been champing at the bit to get the max back in service. >> jumping onboard american airlines

does he want to be the first outgoing president to not play a role in his successor‘s time since andrew johnsonfunders right now. —— i think he is making too much money. fundraising on this rubbish, insertion of code into these voting machines, you organ you lose that money you're getting donations from your most, i would say, avid supporters, so i guess i do not see where a lot of this stops at this point. i do not see where you're going to stop certain people that bring up things that are not true, andl bring up things that are not true, and i think he is thinking he is good to be a part of it because he is going to dig about running in 2024, or at least tell people that, so 2024, or at least tell people that, so he can keep fundraising. this is not the end of this stop it you are right, and also, by the way, hugo chavez did not come back from the grave. there are a whole lot of conspiracy theory still out there. asa conspiracy theory still out there. as a republican who has been dismayed by what you have seen over the course of the last month, do you think it will have a material impact on d

. >> an impeachment of andrew johnson, the articles of impeachment involves speech writing. -- and had apparently been so crude and offensive unpresidential in his criticism of the radical republicans that they wrote that as a reason for his removal from office. is it possible for our president to say something, write something, or tweet something that would justify removal from office? >> justify the removal of the writer. that's something with you live in fear of. johnson did not have riders. we >> legally, i can't answer that question. i think if he says something that is, where he perjured himself, then yes. >> it seems like it could be a sign of an actual crime. >> there are questions about whether this presidency used up his twitter account deleting tweets. whether he's in violation of the presidential records act, by doing certain things. i think, as john said one of the things that speech writers live in fear of, is just being wrong. and writing something, maybe not these current speech writers -- but afraid of being incorrect. hence the fact checkers, the lawyers. who made sur

rights legislation and by establishing federal courts where they can testify under the bureau, andrew johnsonpped in and said no you cannot do that, what you're doing, you're giving african-american men rights that no other american men has and white american men are not labeled by name in any legislation because it was written for them, you're giving rights to black man but not whiteman and then he said what you are doing your creating a giant federal government, giant federal government that is designed to give rights to black people that whiteman do not have and the only way to pay for those rights is by tax money, tax dollars, what you are doing you redistribute in wealth from hard-working white people too lazy impoverished african-american, that language right there is it is veto of two bills in 1866 and by 1871 southern democrats who want to get rid of black rights based on racial issues suddenly say it's a factor having poor people, the people used to hold the field are now saying how our tax dollars are supposed to be spent and it's right there we get the use of the word socialism, al

i'm not sure -- i'm trying to figure out, was andrew johnson at the swearing-in of ulysses s.here is a precedent. in march, on march 4th, 1801, john adams at 4:00 a.m. in the morning got up on the coach and began -- and left washington, d.c. for his home in quincy, massachusetts. thereby avoided the swearing-in ceremony, inaugural of thomas jefferson on noon, march 4th, 1801. neil: how could i forget that. i remember covering that. i was so surprised. >> yeah. exactly. you know, you were on the jefferson beat so you were over at the boardinghouse and walked over to him, as i recall. neil: i was ready for him. got it. got it. you are encyclopediaic, you really are. thank you very much for that. we will see what happens. anything could happen in those five or six weeks. that would be kind of interesting, one way or the other. good seeing you again, my friend. karl rove. there is no one better at this stuff than he is. we will have a lot more. right now, wall street not really thinking about that. ready for a biden administration, ready for anything, ready for more vaccines, read

frederick douglass met with andrew johnson trying to talk with him about getting suffrage broadly throughout the nation but also in washington, d.c. frederick douglass had thought the meeting had gone fairly well. him and the delegation left and afterward, just after they left, johnson was reported by a couple of people at the meeting to have said this about frederick douglass. those blank sons of blank thought they had me in a trap. i know that blank douglass, he's just like any other blank -- >>> we'll leave this program here to take you live to capitol hill. senator ron johnson handles the government affairs committee. this is live coverage on c-span3. >>> good morning, this hearing is called to order. i want to first thank and welcome the witnesses for your time and testimony. let me start the hearing by saying this hearing should not be controversial. it really shouldn't be. this is something i think we all should want to restore the confidence in our election system. a week ago when i gave notice of this hearing there were more standing issues and court cases than there are today. but

andrew brown forced to stay in the e.u. with its common agricultural standards. these are higher than those in the u.s. the country boris johnson wants to close a trade deal with. a trade deal that could spell ruin for farmers like him. the way they treat their animals i think is absolutely appalling that they're saying they won't allow low standards food into the u.k. that is that is produced at lower standards than ours that they refused to put back into into law. but yet such a law would grant protection to british film as brown and others like him simply can't compete with the known costs of industrial farming but so far only has a vague promise says and you guarantee that imports will have to be at the same stand of the week drug yes absolutely there's no point in having on the environment with a high and i'm a welfare stand is if you lend a lot of them to be on the cop right side and ultimately if you have high standards here and then you alive food in from elsewhere you're not really contributing to animal welfare or higher environmental standards you're simply offshoring those low standards and that's wrong but with rex

it is so late in the game, are your colleagues will into accept whatever boris johnson is able to negotiate? >> -- andrewy not. neither will the british people. for theited 4.5 years brexit that we voted for at the referendum. the appetite to see it is completely undiminished. we've had many elections since then. overwhelming majority of people want to get out of the european union. i'm coming to the conclusion that there's no deal that the european union can give us. i think we are coming at it from two different ways. the u.k. has always been associated with the market, to start with. it was always a vehicle for trade. for the european union, it's about politics. through the so-called level playing field, the european union is seeing this as a way of effectively taking back control of the u.k. before we've really left. that won't wash with politicians over here or with the public. i think we are gearing up for a probable no deal. annmarie: gearing up for a no deal. i have a question for you. if you and your other conservative colleagues don't want this deal, but labor supports it, doesn't matter? can t
