Excerpt from Andrew Johnson Military Governor of Tennessee It is hardly necessary for me to add, in explanation of my method of treating my subject, that I have desired to Show how the lessons learned by Johnson in reconstructing his own state constituted a training for the work to which he was so suddenly and unexpectedly called in a national capacity. It will be seen, I think, that his attitude, as president, toward the problems of reconstruction, was, in most respects, a natural consequence of his experience as military governor of Tennessee.
