Question

What significant event showed the conflict that existed between president andrew johnson and congress?

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States, and was in office from 1829 to 1837.

There were some conflicts between the former president and the congress. One of them was the Indian Removal Act, which forced Native American tribes to resettle, leaving their lands. This is where the term Trail of Tears came along, describing the path of the Indians after being resettled.

Another conflict was his first controversial Veto. He vetoed the construction of Maysville Road, to Maysville, Kentucky, arguing that this only benefited the state of Kentucky, thus it wasn't a federal project but rather a state project.

Answer 2

Even though against President Andrew Jackson's veto, the Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and resulted to the impeachment of President Andrew Jackson. The conflict between the Congress and President Jackson involved the South and the Confederates.
