Historians and the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson
Historians have analyzed and debated the impeachment of Andrew Johnson since it occurred in 1868. While most historians studying Johnson's impeachment have relied on similar sources and legal framing, their own backgrounds, lived experience, racial attitudes, and views of Reconstruction have led to very different interpretations. In the century and a half of literature, four broad schools of interpretation emerged: traditionalists, hagiographers,…

Kevin Waite's new book is broad in geographical and chronological scope, extending from Washington, DC, across the continent to San Francisco and from the early 1840s through Reconstruction to twentieth-century memory of the Civil War.

In this innovative study, Andrew Slap arguesforcefully that the campaign was more than a narrow struggle between Party elites and a class-based radical reform movement. The election, he demonstrates, had broad consequences: in their opposition to widespread Federal corruption,…
