Andrew Johnson's villain name connects to him because he fits the description of a megalomaniac. It's a term to describe someone who is power-hungry, prideful, and arrogant. ]]> 2020-12-03 19:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/985425758 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/985831547 President Johnson was a difficult, racist, arrogant,  power-hungry President to where he escaped impeachment by only one vote however that didn't mean he wasn't censored during the rest of his term. The impeachment of Andrew Johnson was initiated on February 24, 1868, when the United States House of Representatives resolved to impeach Andrew Johnson, the 17th president of the United States, for "high crimes and misdemeanors," which were detailed in 11 articles of impeachment.

Acts of Racism-  He routinely called blacks inferior and bluntly stated that no matter how much progress they made, they must remain so. Johnson vetoed both a civil rights bill designed to fight back the dreaded black codes and another measure to expand the functions of the Freedmen’s Bureau. His message to Congress about the latter veto included condescending language, like urging legislators to take “more mature considerations.” Johnson also made his racist views clear in statements like this one to the federal commissioner of the Public Buildings Service: “Everyone would, and must admit, that the white race was superior to the black, and that while we ought to do our best to bring them . . . up to our present level, that, in doing so, we should, at the same time raise our own intellectual status so that the relative position of the two races would be the same.”

Acts of being arrogant- He openly called critics disloyal, even treasonous. He liberally threw insults like candy during public speeches. He rudely ignored answers he didn’t like. He regularly put other people into positions they didn’t want to be in, then blamed them when things ended up failing as a result. His own bodyguard later called him “destined to conflict,” a man who “found it impossible to conciliate or temporize.” Members of Congress and some in Andrew Johnson’s own Cabinet wanted him gone. In August and September of 1866, Johnson tried to rally public support around him in a multistate 19-day road trip, during which he gave more than 100 speeches. The people have been witness to the mortifying spectacle of the president going from town to town, accompanied by the prominent members of the Cabinet, on an electioneering raid, denouncing his opponents, bandying epithets with men in the crowd, and praising himself and his policies. Such a humiliating exhibition has never before been seen, nor anything even approaching to it

Impeachment- Johnson’s veto of the Tenure of Office Act got the usual treatment from Congress: a prompt override. “He is of no account,” one senator said bluntly. “We pay no attention anymore to what he says.” Virginia’s Republican governor wrote to a prominent congressman, “I fear there will be no peace in the country as long as Johnson is in the Presidential Chair.” He was caught violating the Tenure of Office Act by attempting to replace Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War, while Congress was not in session and other abuses of presidential power. So The House charged Johnson with illegally removing the secretary of war from office and for violating several Reconstruction Acts. The House also accused the president of hurling slanderous “inflammatory and scandalous harangues” against Congressional members. House voted 126 to 47 to impeach Johnson of high crimes and misdemeanors. On February 24, the House passed all 11 articles of impeachment, and the process moved into a Senate trial.]]> 2020-12-03 21:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/985831547 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986006390 2020-12-03 23:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986006390 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986007361 2020-12-03 23:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986007361 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986007788 2020-12-03 23:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986007788 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986008554 2020-12-03 23:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986008554 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986009582 2020-12-03 23:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986009582 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986016237 "All men are not created equally"

Died: July 31, 1875 at age 66 in Elizabethton, Tennesee
 Johnson, who grew up poor and never attended school, was apprenticed to a tailor by his early teens. In 1826, he moved to Greeneville, Tennessee, and established himself as a tailor. The following year, Johnson married Eliza McCardle (1810-1876), the daughter of a shoemaker. The couple had five children. Eliza Johnson helped her husband improve his rudimentary reading and writing skills, and tutored him in math. Over time, Andrew Johnson became prosperous enough to buy property and acquire several African-American slaves, who worked in his home. He served in the Senate and the House and as governor, and then military governor, of Tennessee. It was when he was serving as military governor that Abraham Lincoln asked him to replace Hannibal Hamlin as vice president in the 1864 campaign. A Democrat, Johnson switched parties for the election. Six weeks after Johnson was inaugurated as U.S. vice president in 1865, Lincoln was murdered. In 1868, he was impeached by Congress, but he was not removed from office. He did not run for a second presidential term.]]> 2020-12-03 23:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986064043 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986175542 Weapon/Tools- His political power as the President of the United States was used to further his agenda.
Challenges faced- The House impeachment, Bills that helped black people have rights and freedoms and help the help millions of former black slaves and poor whites in the South in the aftermath of the Civil War. 14th Amendment
Accomplishments-  Staying in office 
Overcome- Johnson vetoed both a civil rights bill designed to fight back the dreaded black codes and another measure to expand the functions of the Freedmen’s Bureau. He managed to be Acquitted by the U.S. Senate, remained in office.
Not Overcome- The 14th Amendment, in early 1866, a congressional Joint Committee on Reconstruction developed a constitutional amendment, which presidents have no power to either approve or deny even though Johnson obstructed its ratification it still passed.]]> 2020-12-04 00:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986175542 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986276905  Nemesis’ plans-  Moving forward with Reconstruction. A constitutional amendment that sought to prohibit states from depriving citizens of fundamental rights or equal protection under the law and to rescind the constitutional formula by which states had gained the benefit of additional representation in Congress for slaves within their borders, without letting those slaves vote. Bills like the Tenure of Office Act and bills designed to fight back the dreaded black codes and another measure to expand the functions of the Freedmen’s Bureau. 
Deeds- The House used its power to limit Andrew Johnson's Presidential power and control. Overriding his vetos and enforcing the fact that the presidents do not have the power to either approve or deny in this case the 14th amendment.
Strength- The house had many members and people favored them over the president.

By 1834,  Andrew had already served several terms as town alderman and as mayor of Greeneville, identifying with the town's laboring class. At that time, he called himself a Jacksonian Democrat, aligning with the common-man ideology of populist President Andrew Jackson. As a politician, Johnson supported Jacksonian policies like The Compromise of 1850 and the gag rule that prevented the consideration of antislavery petitions before the House of Representatives.]]> 2020-12-04 01:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986331126 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986350810 2020-12-04 01:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986350810 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986355026 2020-12-04 01:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986355026 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986366698 2020-12-04 02:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986366698 cresly1727421 https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986419265 2020-12-04 02:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cresly1727421/34hr6pzh2i4j02ml/wish/986419265
