Who won the presidency after andrew johnson, due to the help from a large african american vote favor?

Answer 1

Ulysses S. Grant preceded Andrew Johnson

Answer 2

The correct answer is Ulysses S. Grant.

Grant became a popular figure among African American voters due to the fact that he lead the Union army during the last few years of the Civil War. Many African American voters saw Grant as a hero, as he helped to win the war for the Union and to bring an end to the institution of slavery within the South. This is why Grant was able to become the next president after Andrew Johnson.
