johnson for having stood loyal while in the very furnace of the rebellion. some radical republicans had their doubts about the tennesseean, the irascible penn congressman thaddeus stevens said of johnson's nomination that lincoln should have been able to find a running mate "without going down to one of those damned rebel provinces to pick one up." but others rallied around the nomination in the hopes that johnson with his pension for tough talking against the secessionists might push lincoln toward a less lenient, more stringent reconstruction program. lincoln's backers in the north delighted in contrasting johnson's rock-ribbed loyalty to the union with the all together less admirable record of mcclellan's running mate, george pendleton of ohio. pendsle t pendleton was the personification of the copperhead. they trotted out pendleton's voting record if congress, all the many instances pendleton had voted against resolutions to support and provision the troops and raise revenue for the war effort. this was proof so the campaign argument went that pendleton was openly disloyal. what about the larger group of southern unionists. they were deeply divided, as it turns ot.

johnson encouraged southern states to reject the amendment. as the amendment went through the senate the senate struck out a clause that was deer to thaddaeus stevens disenfranchising rebel officers and replaced it with one barring them from holding office and at that point stevens committed himself to making sure whatever else they did they left with the war intact. this explains stevens' strange, angry, but rueful acceptance of the 14th amendment that didn't do any of the things he wanted it to do. he wanted an amendment that empowered african-americans and disempowered rebels. he got an amendment that didn't do either. when asked why he would accept so imperfect a proposition he answered because i live among men and not angels. while that is a great line i think it is much clearer the reason he accepted it is because he understood he had eviscerated the key question of the 14th amendment of would it end the war. in may his partner, strange partner, moderate, conservative fessendon wrote you need feel no alarm about congress. we will stand firm until the end. congress extended the war over and over again in a revived freedmens bureau bill, when c
