In our ongoing series on Almost President Samuel Tilden, we
talk about Andrew Johnson who set the stage for our Almost President by setting
the stage for Reconstruction.

In this episode we track President Johnson’s ever-changing
views on slavery and his (unfortunately) unchanging views on white supremacy.
We also talk about Johnson’s…interesting relationship to alcohol. And (very unfortunately)
we talk about Johnson’s ascension to the presidency and all of the problems
this would cause.

How did Democrat Andrew Johnson come to be on Abraham
Lincoln’s ticket? And how did he go from a staunch anti-segregationist to one
of the most infamous supporters of white supremacy in American history.
