Answer:

He was impeached because he was racist and uncooperative. He would take away plans that the people made for slaves to be free. I believe it was legal because everyone has a right to freedom and he would not let that happen

Answer:

On February 24, 1868, three days after Johnson's dismissal of Stanton, the House of Representatives voted 126 to 47 (with 17 members not voting) in favor of a resolution to impeach the president for high crimes and misdemeanors. Thaddeus Stevens addressed the House prior to the vote.
