this is what nevins had to say about reconstruction. it was a time of profligate debasement, and johnson was partly broken for his courage. sumner was an example of the false courage that grew out of abolitionist fanaticism. this is just a sideline, but unfortunately nevins' account, of foreign policy, which he wrote on at this time, this view of reconstruction, is still influential with grant biographers today. enough on that. let's get to the klansmen, 1905, the racist novel that became the basis of the movie birth of a nation, which omits the impeachment trial. but the klansmen does have the trial and it has significant similarities with profiles in courage, including dramatic flair to tell the story of heroism. it's not surprising. dixon might be a source for kennedy. he does have a somewhat different dramatic focus from kennedy. dixon lionize as ross, but he also focuses on austin stone, whose embrace of african-american rights was threatening the foundation of the republic. here is thaddeus stevens with his famous wig. no wig, arg

i want to turn to a historian, much more than allan nevins and john kennedy, profile and courage. that's david donald. remember at that time, johnson was considered a good president. for the american heritage, he wrote an essay called why they impeach andrew johnson. and donald details how his ineptitude destroyed any chance of bringing the nation together in a way that would have brought justice to the south and african-americans. i'm going to quote at length from donald because his voice doesn't get hurt as much as it should. johnson was indifferent. he never learned the president of the united states cannot er.ord to be a quarrel johnson continued to make speeches from the white house. all too often, he spoke and permitted hecklers. you can see why i felt i needed to quote a little bit from this. andrew johnson never learned that the president of the united states must function as a party leader. while making up his mind, he seemed receptive to all ideas. when he made a decision, his mind was closed and he defended his course with all the obstinacy of a weasel. as charles sumne
