Extractions: March 22, 1875 Andrew Johnson was born in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1808, and like the previous North Carolina born presidents, Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk, he was elected to office from Tennessee. Although a native of the South, Johnson was a firm supporter of the Union. During the desperate days of the Civil War, he served as the military governor of Tennessee and finally as vice-president under the second term of Abraham Lincoln. After Lincoln's assassination, the heavy task of restoring a nation after the ravages of a civil war fell to the tailor from North Carolina. Andrew Johnson began his life in a small wooden house which is still preserved in Raleigh. His parents, Jacob and Mary Johnson, maintained the home by working for Casso's Inn, a popular inn and stable. The Johnson home stood on the property of the inn. Andrew's mother was a weaver for the Casso's Inn while Jacob Johnson was the inn's hostler as well as the janitor for the State Capitol. Andrew was the younger of two sons born into the Johnson family. Jacob Johnson rescued two friends from drowning in 1812 but died from over-exertion, leaving Mary to raise Andrew and his brother William. In an effort to provide a trade for her sons, Mary Johnson apprenticed her sons to a tailor in Raleigh when Andrew was fourteen.

Extractions: Winning the first presidency by a unanimous vote, with some individuals having wished to make Washington king, it seems unusual that he did not really want the position of president. Although a successful general and president, Washington remained interested in farming throughout his presidency. He bred animals, specializing in the breeding of mules and helped to raise the quality of stock across the nation. As the first president, Washington had many new tasks to accomplish with trial and error as the only available method for accomplishing them. After appointing people to head the four executive departments, he tried to meet with each head, or ] secretary, individually. This proved to be daunting. As a result he had the secretaries meet with him as a group, forming the government's first cabinet. New York was the nations first capital, but people felt that the capital should be outside the territory of any states. George Washington selected the site for our current capital between the states of Maryland and Virginia. While the new capital was being built, Washington led the country from Philadelphia, which served as a temporary capital.

Extractions: "I want to assure the reader that it is not my intention to excuse or exonerate Andrew Jackson for the role he played in the removal of Native Americans west of the Mississippi River. My purpose is simply to explain what happened and why" writes Remini, who won the National Book Award for his three-volume biography of the seventh president.
Extractions: You might have noticed that the first few presidents of the United States were all from Virginia or Massachusetts. They were all aristocrats, born into successful, prosperous families, with the time and opportunity to be well educated. But what if you were living in nineteenth century America in Tennessee and you were poor? Would you have a chance to be president? After Andrew Jackson was elected the seventh president, you knew you had a chance. If Andy Jackson could be president, then any white man born in the United States could be president. "Let the people rule." That was the motto of this man of action, a poor boy from Carolina and then western Tennessee who became a lawyer, a judge, a landowner, a general, and a military hero . He was always doing things and going places and changing the world he lived in. His soldiers called him "Old Hickory" because they said he was strong and straight as a hickory tree. But John Quincy Adams , the man Jackson replaced as president, couldn't abide him. He called Jackson "a barbarian and [a] savage who can scarcely spell his own name." . They poured in through the mansion's doors in their buckskin clothes and muddy boots. They climbed on the satin chairs and broke glasses and spilled orange punch. The

Extractions: Senate Censures President The Senate demanded that the president turn over a document. The president in the second year of his second term refused. In an unprecedented and never-repeated tactic, the Senate then censured the president on March 28, 1834. Two years earlier, President Andrew Jackson (pictured) had vetoed an act to re-charter the Bank of the United States. That veto became a major issue in his 1832 reelection campaign, as he decisively defeated Senator Henry Clay. After the election, Jackson moved to withdraw federal deposits from that bank. When the new Congress convened in December 1833, Clay's anti-administration coalition in the Senate held an eight-vote majority over Jackson's fellow Democrats. Clay then challenged Jackson on the bank issue with a Senate resolution seeking a paper the president had read to his cabinet. When Jackson refused, Clay introduced the censure resolution. After a ten-week debate, the Senate voted 26 to 20 to censure the president for assuming power not conferred by the Constitution. Jackson responded with a lengthy protest denying the validity of the Senate's action. In another unprecedented move, the Senate responded by refusing to print the president's message in its journal. For nearly three years, Missouri Democrat Thomas Hart Benton campaigned to expunge Jackson's censure resolution from the Senate Journal. By January 1837, having regained the majority, Senate Democrats voted to remove this stain from the record of an old and sick president just weeks from his retirement. With boisterous ceremony, the handwritten 1834 Journal was borne into the mobbed chamber and placed on the secretary's table. The secretary took up his pen, drew black lines around the censure text, and wrote "Expunged by the order of the Senate." The chamber erupted in Democratic jubilation and a messenger was dispatched to deliver the expunging pen to Jackson. Dressed in the deep black of a mourner, Henry Clay lamented: "The Senate is no longer a place for any decent man."
