Listen "Reconstruction and The Presidency of Andrew Johnson"
Episode Synopsis
This podcast focuses on post civil war reconstruction during the presidency of Andrew Johnson.
Andrew Johnson was thrust into the presidential job because of Lincoln's assassination. You can find out if he was up to the task or not.
Newly freed men (former slaves) had their share of challenges as well. Jim Crow laws, tenant farming, segregation and adapting to freedom all had to be dealt with. Add to that the bigotry brewing in the country as well as the formation of the KKK and we see why the need arose for civil rights movements to take root.
We also discuss the purchase of Alaska from Russia for 7.2 million, also known as "Seward's Folly"
Always more to learn!!!
