Abraham choose Andrew because he was a U.S. seneter from Greeneville in eastern Tennessee
Or, as it says in my old text book, because he believed Johnston "could help him bring the South back into the Union more easily."
Andrew Johnson of Tennessee was Vice President. He became President when Lincoln was killed.
He was Abraham Lincoln's Vice President so he didn't get one.
Until the passage of the 25th amendment to the US Constitution, presidents who took office when the president died served the rest of the unexpired term of the deceased president without a vice-president. Johnson assumed office upon the assassination of President Lincoln. He was unsuccessful in his attempt to get the nomination of his party (the Democratic Party) to stand for election in 1868 so he was never a candidate for president in the general election and never had a chance to have a vice president.
