Additional Details

Issue devoted to Lincoln's assassination and the swearing in of Andrew Johnson. Article indicating that 'The Policy of Mr. Lincoln to be the Policy of Mr. Johnson," something which of course was not true. Johnson's policies, solidly pro-South, were diametrically opposed to those of Lincoln. Johnson's vetoes of Reconstruction Acts passed by the Congress eventually led to his impeachment.
