there is no person on earth that things andrew johnson is a good president, i don't think in this room anyway. if we put ourselves in the shoes of the people living in the past, we can understand at least their reasoning. that's all i have. [laughter] mr. williams: thank you. absolutely. please do. to what extent does this decision of the republican party to support voting rights in the south for african-americans based on the idea that this is the group that is going to help the republican party? ms. waugh: you are exactly right. african-americans comprise 80% of the republicans in the south during the period. they made every effort to secure that vote. it is one of the few times in a history that perfectly melded policy, power and idealism. it had next result obviously. -- mixed result obviously. mr. williams: doug? mr. egerton: politicians can do the right things for the wrong reasons. i agree with you both. lincoln got the votes in what is now west virginia. he is running against two democrats. the south is not having an election that year. grant loses new york in 1868. thanks to t

i think for most historians it is not that he was the only man for the job, it is that andrew johnson was the absolute worst man for the job. you can look at all this really bad policy and his animosity he had towards black americans. the meetings with frederick douglass are infamous. after douglass leaves, johnson turns his secretary in says i know negros like that, but he did not use that term. he was a really bad guy. he actually wins the worst president over buchanan because he squanders it. look at the second president johnson. the mourning nation and pushes for civil rights. what is surprising is a large number of northerners and southerners who said and 1865 it is over. james long street writes editorials saying we are a conquered people. we fought, we lost, they won, and now we need to accept whatever rules they impose on us and move ahead. you have ultimate photographs. charleston is burned, richmond is burned. the south has lost hundreds of thousands of young men. this is a chance to really start fixing things. it will be easy, of course not. but he is digging in his heels a

buchanan, pierce, and andrew johnson. that is because three of those disastrously,lt arguably, with the issues leading up to and following the war, the greatest of funding crisis in american history. -- the greatest the finding defining crisis andin american history. lincoln defined a wartime president. the one cautionary note i would add, anytime you do a survey like this, you have to keep in over-- we have thbent backwards three times now through the range of criteria that we have devised to reflect the fact that the presidency is a different office than the 20th century from the 19 century. arguably, it could be a different office than the 21st century. there is no one size that fits all. dougg said that, i think is absolutely right. peopleg that gets talking and debating about leadership and greatness in the presidential office is useful. >> we don't want to ignore the bottom 10 either, richard norton smith. james buchanan, preceded by andrew johnson, franklin pierce, warren harding, william henry harrison, millard fi

for the new andrew johnson dministration to accept. however, received an e-mail from walter starr who you may know is the author of a recent book on william henry stuart and presently is working on a book on edwin stanton. well, he insists that it's much more complicated than that. what he discovered was that sherman also took and sent some of the surrender terms to some southern newspapers. for example, "the columbia, south carolina phoenix" of april 24, 1865, and that newspaper quoted it as saying that this peace treaty would bring peace to all the united states and the confederate states. sherman believed that he was exactly doing what should have been done. so it's possible that he may have sent information or planted information in a newspaper to put pressure on the administration to accept the terms. the problem is, however, that he never said anything about it, nor did anyone else say anything about such plans until walter starr found this information. so i think you have to say it's just difficult to know for sure but we wanted

i'm not sure if you suck but andrew johnson or lyndon baines thompson. the strength of the cabinet and how each of you with see if the strong cabinet was an influence in a strong presidency. guest: it's a big deal. i think one of the keys to leadership is putting the right people around you and we looked at ronald reagan's foreign-policy. a are talking about what great job james baker did and what a great job george schultz did during that. of time. there is no eisenhower warned policy -- eisenhower foreign-policy bump in the polls. allen dulles has been able to come up with a cold war strategy using the cia and -- i and covert ways and pushing things on the home front like the eisenhower interstate highway system. the point being that it is not just the president as an isolated person we are ranking, we are looking at the whole administration and how they did. one of the cree -- key criterion that you surround yourself with great people. in my mind, franklin roosevelt did that with -- more than anybody. frances perkins and this group of new dealers that

. -- andrew johnson and his cabinet. keep in mind as craig pointed out, that lincoln was assassinated. the nation is in shock over this. the nation, including the administration, is war weary over all of the death and destruction. so the cabinet, like the american people, was in no mood for a soft case. -- a soft peace. the north had the upper hand after all. so why should the union side reward the south for losing the war? he thinks he is on the verge of becoming a national hero. all of a sudden, ulysses s. grant shows up, his friend. he says nothing about firing sherman and taking his place, as stanton would have liked. but he calmly tells his friend that the terms are not acceptable. i think what you need to do was call joe johnston, get with him, and just renegotiate things. well, sherman's response to this is quite positive. he reacted calmly. he wrote stanton and note expressing his willingness to change the treaty quote -- this is sherman writing to stanton -- i admit my follies and embracing in a military convent

and outlook, president andrew johnson was ill-suited for the responsibility he now shouldered following lincoln's assassination. a lonely, stubborn man, he was intolerant of criticism and unable to compromise. he lacked lincoln's political skills and keen sense of northern public opinion. though johnson had supported him -- emancipation during the war, he held deeply racist views. a spokesman for poor white farmers of the south, he condemned the old planter aristocracy, but believed african-americans had no role to play and reconstruction. thus johnson proved incapable of providing the nation with enlightened leadership. with congress out of session in mayecember, johnson 1865, right after the assassination, outlined his land for reigniting the nation. he issued a series of proclamations and more amnesties than any resident in american history. the rather then magnanimous acts, johnson offered a pardon to all southern whites except confederate leaders and wealthy plan fees and most of these subsequently received individual pardons who took an oath of allegiance. he also appointed provis

part of the reason why he's such a legend is 'cause the guy who followed him, andrew johnson, was so bad he got impeached. look at lincoln now. they gave him a monument, a town car. he's fighting vampires in movies and they put him on two monies! and if they did all that for him, then they gon' let obama at least photobomb the hundred. [laughter] - i mean, that sounds like-- - at the minimum. - roy, are you equating obama with lincoln? - yes. at minimum. look, lincoln was the obama of the 1800s. he was divisive and he made controversial decisions that over time will reveal to be for the greater good. freeing the slaves, that was basically lincoln's obamacare. i'm not sure if you know what went down with the emancipation, but lincoln had some pushback too. and that's why i see today as a celebration. when president obama boarded that helicopter and waved good-bye, i saw a man ascend to greatness and that is something to smile about. - i guess so. i guess so, roy. i guess so. you know what? it looks like-- it looks like you're gonna be okay with the trump presidency. - uh, i will event
