More about the book
Andrew Johnson faced the challenge of life after the presidency by reigniting his political ambitions upon returning to Tennessee in 1869. Over six years, he sought to reclaim public acclaim through three campaigns for the U.S. Senate, each marked by strategic decisions and setbacks. Despite losing initial opportunities, he declared himself an independent candidate in 1872 to counteract the old Confederates' influence within the Democratic party. His persistence culminated in a strong bid for the Senate in 1874, positioning him as a significant contender amid a competitive political landscape.
