President Andrew Johnson

• Being an astute and magnificent speaker, President Lyndon Johnson was able to win over the common man soon after assuming office and entering the rather filthy world of politics.
• Because of his soft corner towards the commoners, President Andrew Johnson was considered as a traitor by most members of the elite aristocratic class of the US, which made him an obvious target.
