He never attended school, yet fought for public education. He was a Southern slaveholder who opposed secession and enforced emancipation. Born into poverty, he became the 17th president of the United States--and the first U.S. president to be impeached. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new volume thoroughly examines the troubled career of our most unpopular president--not to resuscitate his reputation, but because his personal contradictions reflected those of his country: a democratic nation conceived in liberty, yet existing half slave and half free; an economy of yeoman farmers and independent artisans being swept into industrialization and a market system; a country fond of tradition, but caught up in social, economic, and political revolution.","brand":"ABC-CLIO","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45082197098647,"sku":"9781576070307","price":6452.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781576070307.webp?v=1767263080","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/andrew-johnson-9781576070307","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
