[QUOTE="Jimmyk, post: 1447956, member: 232739"] the same thing? Why is it that Andrew Johnson gets such a bad rap when he was doing EXACTLY WHAT LINCOLN WOULD HAVE DONE and would have succeeded in had he not been shot? You really don't want to talk about race in this unless you want Lincoln's obvious racism. The fact remains that Johnson wanted to carry out Lincoln's plan to the letter and he was vilified and subject to a political witchhunt, the same way that yankees did to another Southern president 130 years later So if you have a problem with what Johnson was doing then to be intellectually honest you have to admit that you would have also had a problem with what Lincoln would have done The real villains in reconstruction were Thaddeus Stevens and his crowd [/QUOTE]
