@hannu_ikonen Andrew Johnson was always ok with slavery, he just hated how the rich slave owners looked down on him. So he pardoned all of them and gave them back their land and property (thankfully slaves were classified as people then), if they just came to the white house and kissed his ass.
They then used funds meant for southern vets who weren't allowed to get veterans help because they were traitors, to fund books like the confederate catechism and gone with the wind. Had those rich traitors rotted in prison, the south would a very different place. It the reason they impeached him. They were one vote shy of removing him but some senator in the pocket of a war profiteer voted against it because the VP was too radical for him, things like giving women the vote and regulating industry.
