The Tailor Tasked with Rebuilding the Union, Andrew Johnson is remembered today as the first to be impeached and a man without a party. Learn about Johnson's hard-won independent streak, and how the extreme poverty of his childhood and lack of education stayed with him throughout his rise to the presidency. Learn, as well, about the three (!) different birthplace commemorations of Andrew Johnson, born at old Casso's Inn in Raleigh, North Carolina!
