andrew johnson was actually a democrat. he had never become a republican, but he was the only senator from the south to remain in or i should say the only senator from a confederate state to remain in the us senate and lincoln had made him military governor of tennessee. and so he seen as this very loyal guy and what the republicans think is if we bring in a war democrat onto the our ticket it'll broaden our appeal to voters and we're likely to win. now i had you all read the republican. platform from 1864 and it's a it's a long platform. there's about a dozen or so planks in it, but i want to just focus on the first five. platforms were very important in the 19th century because they put out the message that the party wants the voters to know. this is what we stand for. in looking at the republican platform from 1864 what jumped out at you? what are the republicans saying to voters that they believe in that they stand for or that they want to do. go ahead jordan. well first they're like slavery is the cause and like the st

lincoln was shot, as we know, and the execution of what happened at usda fell to andrew johnson, probably the worst or second worst president we've evert had. and subsequent, subsequent presidents and department chairs. the usda has always had a dual mandate, and this is, it's discussed a lot in the book because of this. its mandatete so to support american agriculture and to help americans eater well. those became dueling mandates. in other words, it was the position usda took which was to support americaning agriculture from a pretty -- american agriculture from a pretty strictly commercial and business perspective is at odds with what others later found to be our food needs, our nutrition needs. .. so the fda is really most interested e in how established farmers can make money. they do support some programs, to something for small farmers but those are for the most part problems that fall off the table. the primary work is to help industrial agriculture grow, and even help spread it around the world. that is add-ons for teaching americans eat well. we do have this, this is a fundament

american reunion, one that i think grant would eventually take up after the disastrous presidency of andrew johnsonwhich he attempted to blend a sort of desire for unity with the commitment to principle, and so we see lincoln midway through the war promulgate a policy of amnesty to confederates who seemed ready to change their hearts and minds. this is a policy that is less well-known in his eemancipation pollingly but very important and asked confederates to pledge future loyalty to the union and lincoln hoped to recreate the loyal core in the to union occupied states through the pledges of future loyalty. so that was an olive branch, but at the same time lincoln stood by his principles, though there were voice in north, the opposition party, the democrats, agitating for a negotiated peace, one in which the union would perhaps give up emancipation -- make concessions to the confederacy, concede perhaps even confederate independence. some so-called copperheads democratics willing to go that far. lincoln wasn't willing to accept peace on his enemy's terms. write a book but the surrender at an mott m
