Andrew Johnson.
Andrew Jackson was not impeached; Andrew Johnson was. When the Radical Republicans were in charge of Congress, they hoped that the South was punished severely, and Johnson talked tough about Reconstruction. Andrew Johnson then proceeded to do exactly opposite of what he had promised, vetoing every act that helped the new freedmen and allowing a swift and extremely lenient reunion for the Southern states. The Radical Republicans were astonished and tried to kick him from the position of President.
Andrew Johnson
This was Andrew Johnson. He was Lincoln's Vice President.
The reconstruction plan that had won was the Andrew Johnson's Plan.
President Andrew Johnson tried to enact Lincoln's more lenient Reconstruction plan, but the Republican Congress was determined to prevent the South from returning to its old ways. When Johnson fired his Secretary of War over disagreements, it led to his impeachment, and he narrowly retained the Presidency. "Radical Reconstruction" was soon underway, with military governors taking control of the states of the former Confederacy.
