Tennessee History for Kids: Andrew Johnson Historic Site

Curated by ACT

Andrew Johnson presided over the American government during the turbulent years immediately following the Civil War. He did not fare well, nearly becoming the first president removed from office by Congress. Today people still argue about his legacy. Some consider him a mistreated president who should get credit for helping to preserve the union. Others think less of him.
