His political incorrectness/racist language earned him more popularity and might have helped him in his career. (Sound like any other President we know?)]]> 2017-09-07 02:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mj150unicorn/ds16amfv9s3n/wish/185366989 Was considered the one of the worst presidents for the time he was elected in. mj150unicorn https://padlet.com/mj150unicorn/ds16amfv9s3n/wish/185367470 At this point in America, people were trying to push past racism and slavery after the Civil War, but Andrew Johnson didn't do much to speed that process up.]]> 2017-09-07 02:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mj150unicorn/ds16amfv9s3n/wish/185367470
