Question

Read the following.

The Radical Republicans were members of Congress. They believed blacks should have the same rights as whites. They also felt Southern leaders should be punished for what they did in the Civil War. A great battle was about to unfold.

The Radicals felt laws designed to protect blacks were necessary. In 1866, Congress began work on a civil rights bill.

President Johnson was against it. He stopped the civil rights bill by using his veto. He did not believe blacks have the "same rights of property and person" as whites.

Other Republicans were disgusted by Johnson's racism. They joined with the Radicals to get enough votes to make sure Johnson could not stop the Civil Rights Act. This was the first time in history that a president's veto of a major law was overturned.

In 1867, Congress approved the 14th Amendment. It said states cannot limit anyone's freedom.

Republicans were encouraged by the work of the 14th Amendment and victories in the 1866 elections. Then they passed a law called the Reconstruction Act of 1867. This law said that people who fought for the South in the Civil War could not vote or run to become a politician. Now, Southerners who supported the North during the war became the new leaders in the South.

Southern states rewrote their laws to agree with the 14th Amendment and give blacks more rights. Congress seemed fully in control, but one thing stood in the way: President Johnson. Radical leaders used a part of the Constitution to get rid of him: impeachment. In the spring of 1868, Andrew Johnson became the first president to be impeached. However, he was not removed from the White House. He finished his term as president but didn't run for a second term.
