Johnson presided over the Reconstruction of the United States following the American Civil War, and his conciliatory policies towards the defeated rebels and his vetoes of civil rights bills embroiled him in a bitter dispute with the radical faction of Congress, leading the House of Representatives to impeach him in 1868, becoming the first President to be impeached. He was subsequently acquitted by a single vote in the Senate.
Early political career
Johnson was a Representative and a Senator from Tennessee and a Vice President and 17th President of the United States. He was born in Raleigh, North Carolina on December 29, 1808. He was self-educated. At the age of 13 he was apprenticed to a tailor. He moved to Tennessee in 1826, where he continued his employment as a tailor. He served as an alderman in Greeneville, Tennessee from 1828 to 1830, and mayor of Greeneville from 1834 to 1838. He was a member of the State house of representatives from 1835 to 1837 and 1839 to 1841. He was elected to the State senate in 1841, and elected as a Democrat to the Twenty-eighth and to the four succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1843 to March 3, 1853. He was chairman of the Committee on Public Expenditures (Thirty-first and Thirty-second Congresses).
Political ascension
Johnson did not seek renomination, having become a gubernatorial candidate. He was Governor of Tennessee from 1853 to 1857, and was elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate and served from October 8, 1857 to March 4, 1862, when he resigned. He was chairman of the Committee to Audit and Control the Contingent Expense (Thirty-sixth Congress). Johnson was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln as Military Governor of Tennessee in 1862. He was elected Vice President of the United States on the Republican ticket headed by Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and was inaugurated March 4, 1865. He became President of the United States on April 15, 1865, upon the death of Abraham Lincoln. He was the first Vice President to succeed to the U.S. Presidency upon the assassination of a President and the third to succeed upon the death of a President.
Impeachment
Wide differences arising between the President and the Congress, a resolution for his impeachment passed the House of Representatives February 24, 1868. On March 5, 1868 a court of impeachment was organized in the United States Senate to hear charges against the President. Eleven articles were set out in the resolution and the trial before the Senate lasted three months, at the conclusion of which he was acquitted (May 16, 1868) by a vote of thirty-five for conviction to nineteen for acquittal, the necessary two-thirds vote for impeachment not having been obtained. He retired to his home in Tennessee upon the expiration of the presidential term on March 4, 1869. Johnson was the first President to be impeached. Bill Clinton was the second President to be impeached.
Post-Presidency
Johnson was an unsuccessful candidate for election to the United States Senate in 1869 and to the House of Representatives in 1872. He was elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1875, until his death near Elizabethton, Carter County, Tennessee, July 31, 1875.

Lyndon Johnson Order: 36th President Term of Office: November 22, 1963 - January 20, 1969 Followed: John F. Kennedy '\Succeeded by:' Richard Nixon Date of Birth Thursday, August 27, 1908 Place of Birth: Gillespie County, Texas Date of Death: Monday, January 22, 1973 Place of Death: Johnson City, Texas First Lady: Claudia Alta Taylor ("Lady Bird") Profession: teacher Political Party: Democrat Vice President: Hubert H. Humphrey Nicknames: LBJ Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 - January 22, 1973), often referred to as "LBJ", was the thirty-seventh (1961-1963) Vice President and the thirty-sixth (1963-1969) President of the United States, succeeding to the office after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Biography
Johnson was Congressman for the 10th Texas district from 1937 to 1948, a Texas Senator from 1948-1960, Senate Minority leader from 1952-1955, and Senate Majority Leader from 1955-1960. In 1960 he ran for the Democratic Presidential nomination. He was defeated by JFK, but won the vice presidency on Kennedy's ticket.
Johnson had huge ambition and mostly high ideals, combined with a more thorough knowledge of how to get legislation through the U.S. Congress than any president has ever had. He had no hobbies, and other than his own immediate family, few interests outside politics, with the possible exception of overseeing his large Texas ranch, the "LBJ Ranch". He named or nicknamed most people and things close to him with his own initials, from his wife, "Lady Bird" Johnson, to his dog, "Little Beagle Johnson".
Although LBJ was unusually progressive for a Texas politician, he had a close relationship with the petroleum industry and other Texas businesses, such as the construction firm Brown and Root. His connections and political career also earned him enormous wealth, including a radio and television network which was held and managed by his wife. After having lost a Senate primary to ballot-stuffing in 1941, Johnson employed the same tactics in his successful 1948 nomination campaign.
After Kennedy's assassination, Johnson served out the remainder of the term in manner he felt was consistent with Kennedy's agenda. He convinced Kennedy's cabinet to serve out the rest of the term, including Robert Kennedy (despite the acrimonious relationship between Johnson and Kennedy). He also used his considerable political savvy to ensure passage the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These actions allowed Johnson to easily win the 1964 presidential election.
The beginning of his first full term of his presidency were noteworthy for social reforms packaged as the Great Society, notably the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
He had a distaste for the American war effort in Vietnam, which he had inherited from John Kennedy. But Johnson believed that America could not afford to look weak in the eyes of the world, and so he escalated the war effort continuously from 1965-1968, which resulted in thousands of American deaths and perhaps ten times the number of deaths in Vietnam. At the same time, Johnson was afraid that too much focus on Vietnam would distract attention from his Great Society programs, so the levels of military escalation, while significant, were never significant enough to make any real headway in the war. This approach was very unpopular with both The Pentagon and America's South Vietnam allies. Against his wishes, Johnson's presidency was soon dominated by the Vietnam War. As more and more American soldiers died in Vietnam, Johnson's popularity declined, particularly in the face of student protests ("Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids have you killed today?").
As a result, in March of 1968, LBJ announced he would not seek re-election, and he retired from public life at the end of his term. Depressed and alone, his health ruined, he died four years later.
Johnson is the subject of an extensive multi-volume biography: The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert A. Caro. So far three volumes have appeared:
- The Path to Power (1982),
- Means of Ascent (1990),
- Master of the Senate (2002).

Dr. Samuel Johnson (September 18, 1709 - December 13, 1784), often referred to simply as Dr. Johnson, was one of England's greatest literary figures, whose witty asides are still frequently quoted in print today. He was also a lexicographer.
Although best remembered as the compiler of the first comprehensive English dictionary, Dr. Johnson was more than a scholar. Born at Lichfield and educated at Lichfield Grammar School and Pembroke College, Oxford, he moved to London in 1737 with his wife, Tetty, who was twenty years his senior, and began to earn a living as a journalist and critic, whilst working on plays, poetry and biographies. Johnson began A Dictionary of the English Language in 1747, but did not complete it until 1755. It made his name, but not his fortune. Another of his major works, the satire Rasselas (1759), was written specifically to raise money to pay for his mother's funeral.
Johnson was at the centre of a literary circle which included such figures as Oliver Goldsmith, Edmund Burke and David Garrick, and founded the Literary Club. In 1763, a young Scottish writer, James Boswell, introduced himself to Johnson. Together they toured the Western Isles of Scotland in 1773, a journey which Johnson immortalised in print. As a conservative, he was also a fierce critic of the American Revolution. In Taxation No Tyranny, he asked, "How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?"
Dr. Johnson's last great work was the ten-volume Lives of the English Poets, published between 1779 and 1781. He died in 1784 and is buried in Westminster Abbey.
As well as to his output, Johnson owes his reputation to his biographer, James Boswell, who presents us with a picture of a very pious man of Tory common sense, and kindly heart, beneath a sometimes unkempt and gruff exterior. Another of Johnson's great friends were Henry Thrale and Hester Thrale. The latter's diaries and correspondence are a major source of information about Johnson.
His time in Birmingham is remembered by a frieze in the city's Old Square, an area much changed from when he lived there. Birmingham Central Library has a Johnson Collection. It has around 2000 volumes of works by him, and books and periodicals about him. It includes many of his first editions.

Sir William Johnson (1715-1774) was an English pioneer and soldier in western New York, and the British Superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1755-1774. He served on the Governor's Council in New York, earned the rank of Major General in the British forces during the French and Indian War. Sir William was a man of many accomplishments, and ultimately his estate in western New York covered over 400,000 acres.He was born to Cristopher Johnson in County Meath, Ireland in 1715. He originally planned a mercantile career, but in 1738 he emigrated to America to manage the land granted to his uncle (Admiral Sir Peter Warren). He settled on the Mohawk River about 25 miles west of Schenectady, New York. He learned from and lived with the Mohawk Indians who adopted him, and later made him a sachem (civil chief). He also began to purchase land from the Indians in his own right.
William was married in 1739 to a German immigrant, Catherine Wisenberg. She originally came as to America as a indentured servant, but he purchased her contract, released and married her and the couple had three children before her death. Their son John Johnson, inherited his father's title and estates. When Catherine died he married Caroline Peters who was the niece of Chief Hendrick and gave him three more children before her death five years later. When Caroline died he married another Mohawk, Molly Brant, sister of the chief Joseph Brant, and she bore him another eight children.
He founded Johnstown, New York on his estate and brought Irish immigrants to New York.
In May of 1750 the king appointed him a permanent member of the Governor's Council for the Colony of New York. He attended the Albany Congress in 1754 which reached an accord that kept the Iroquois on the British side during the next several wars.
French and Indian War
General Braddock as commander-in-chief, commissioned him a Major General and tasked him to lead militia forces against Grown Point. In September, his expedition defeated Baron Dieskau. In recognition of this victory he was awarded £5,000 and made a Baronet in November. In 1758 he was part of General Abercrombie's failed attempt to take Fort Ticonderoga. He led an Indian and militia force as part of General Prideaux's siege of Fort Niagara in the summer of 1759. When Prideaux was killed, he took command of the force and captured the Fort. He also accompanied General Amherst at the capture of Montreal in 1760. After the war, King George rewarded him with the grant of an additional tract 100,000 acres north of the Mohawk River.Other Events
He died from a stroke at his home in Johnstown on July 11, 1774. His manor house is now a New York Historic Site and is open to the public.External Links
