1868 Impeachment of Andrew Johnson
The Impeachment of Andrew Johnson, 17th President of the United States, was one of the most dramatic events in the political life of the United States during Reconstruction, and the first impeachment in history of a sitting United States president.
The Impeachment was the consummation of a lengthy political battle, between the moderate Johnson and the “Radical Republican” movement that dominated Congress, for control of Reconstruction policies after the American Civil War.
