Editing Andrew Johnson (section)

== Trivia ==
*Some conspiracy theorists believe that Johnson was involved in Lincoln's assassination; Approximately seven hours before shooting President Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth dropped by the Washington hotel which was Vice-President Andrew Johnson's residence. Upon learning from the desk clerk that neither Johnson nor his private secretary, William A. Browning, was in the hotel, Booth wrote the following note: "Don't wish to disturb you Are you at home? J. Wilkes Booth." Browning testified before the military court that he found the note in his box later that afternoon. Did Johnson and Booth know each other? In the 1997 publication ''"Right or Wrong, God Judge Me" The Writings of John Wilkes Booth'' edited by John Rhodehamel and Louise Taper it is stated on p. 146 that Booth had previously met Johnson in Nashville in February 1864. At the time Booth was appearing in the newly opened Wood's Theatre. Also, author Hamilton Howard in ''Civil War Echoes'' (1907) made the claim that while Johnson was military governor of Tennessee, he and Booth kept a couple of sisters as mistresses and oftentimes were seen in each other's company.  Lincoln had essentially ignored Johnson after Johnson's embarrassing behavior on Inauguration Day. Mary Todd Lincoln felt Johnson was involved in her husband's assassination. On March 15<sup>th</sup>, 1866; she wrote to her friend, Sally Orne: "that, that miserable inebriate Johnson, had cognizance of my husband's death Why, was that card of Booth's, found in his box, some acquaintance certainly existed I have been deeply impressed, with the harrowing thought, that he, had an understanding with the conspirators & they knew their man. As sure, as you & I live, Johnson, had some hand, in all this." Some members of Congress also thought Johnson was involved and a special Assassination Committee was established to investigate any evidence linking Johnson to Lincoln's death. Nothing suspicious was ever found by the committee, yet a belief by some Americans that Johnson was somehow involved with Booth continued for many years. 
*He is the first of only three presidents in United States history to be impeached (the next two presidents being [[wikipedia:Bill Clinton|Bill Clinton]] in 1998 and [[Donald Trump]] in 2019 and again in 2021), while [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyler John Tyler] and [[Richard Nixon]] only faced similar impeachment charges without officially getting impeached.
*He was the only Southerner to remain loyal to the Union.
*He was the first vice president to become president by the assassination of his predecessor, which was Abraham Lincoln.
*Similar to [https://real-life-heroes.fandom.com/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson Lyndon B. Johnson], Andrew was the first Johnson to become president after the previous president's assassination.
*He would remain the last president to skip his successor’s inauguration until [[Woodrow Wilson]], who was disabled by a stroke and was too sick to attend Warren G. Harding’s inauguration.
*He was the only president to serve in the Senate after his presidency ended.
*He was the last Democratic president until [[Grover Cleveland]] and Woodrow Wilson.
