Lincoln's Vice President: a Comprehensive Look at Andrew Johnson
Johnson's political career took off when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1843. Over the years, he held various positions, including governor of Tennessee and U.S. senator. His political ideology was rooted in the principles of Jacksonian democracy, which emphasized individual rights and limited government.
Throughout his career, Johnson was known for his staunch opposition to the secession of Southern states. His commitment to the Union led him to become a key figure during the Civil War, eventually earning him a place on Lincoln's ticket in the 1864 election.
