Andrew Johnson Biography, Age, Weight, Height, Friend, Like, Affairs, Favourite, Birthdate & Other

Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of United States of America, rose to the position (while he was serving as the vice-president) when President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Born to an extremely poor family, this soon-to-be president never had the privilege of attending school and had to live life, the hard way. Nevertheless, he was smart enough to build his future solely on his understanding of the politics of the time and through sheer hard work.

Later, Eliza McCardle, his wife, helped him learn how to write and tutored him on many subjects. Born and raised among the working class, he always advocated their rights and sought privileges for them. Throughout his tenure in politics, he worked towards offering a better life to the plebeians and served the best in his capacity. However, his intolerance towards the African-Americans attracted the disapprovals of most of the radical politicians who fought to end slavery.

As a conservative, he supported slavery and sought to protect it. His tenure as a president was a little tumultuous as it was abundant with controversies and animosity from fellow politicians. However, he is still considered one of the greatest American politicians who was honest and was driven by patriotism.
