Andrew Johnson 17th President
Andrew Johnson was born on December 29, 1808 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Johnson was the only Southerner that was still loyal to the Union. When Lincoln died Johnson was sworn in as president.

This shattered Johnson's reputation. Johnson did not seek a re-election. He died on July 13, 1875 in Carter County, Tennessee.
