  • Lincoln's Assassination shocked the nation, and there were even rumors that his Vice President Andrew Johnson had something to do with it. Either way, Johnson became president upon Lincoln's death, and every historian agrees he was rubbish in comparison. He was so bad that he was the first president to be impeached. What did he do that was so lame? Watch and find out!

    Ugh. If not for Johnson, the worst parts of the Jim Crow era may have been avoided. And he was never even elected president. He sucked so bad.

      You can thank the radical Republicans for the KKK and Jim Crow. What they and their carpetbaggers from the North did to the white Southerners was unconscionable. North and South, Americans grew disgusted with those policies. Johnson stood alone against them. He was a true profile in courage.

      @@abrahamlincoln8037 It was mostly to present a "America United" image in a divided Union. Lincoln, and I assume other national republicans, believed that sharing a ticket with person who they thought represented the south in a would symbol the dire need for peace. However, I think if Lincoln kept Hamlin as his VP he still would've won. But who knows? :P

      He did stay a Republican, do your research. The Republican party started March 20th 1854 when a group of politicians separated from the democratic Republic party and joined with the WHIG party to form what is now known as the Republican party running it against slavery I say again against slavery anti slavery. In this video it clearly shows the South all covered in red. Now do tale how the republicans party started in 1854 and then in only 11 short years it converted the entire South to Republican. How was this possible? It's not possible, into purgare prove the truth what you're saying is wrong. Just look up in your little faithful I can always go to week of pedia and search the KKK. It will point you to far Right organization that is against African Americans, leftist, etc. Then go to the historychannel.com and look up the KKK, it'll show you the complete opposite. Now as most people who are anywhere privy only Internet at this point, knows that Wikipedia is edited by any and everybody. Where we all know how some people like the spread the truth and not so much the truth. Bottom line, people need to realize that there are people out there that can be trusted. But for some reason this slips people's minds when it comes to government and anything on the TV. The only the wake-up forced to late. Good day to you all God-bless us all. Trump 2020

      Name reactions are basically standard reactions performed by the person they're named after which are now used somewhere.
      For example, the Sebatier Senderenz reaction used for the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons in the presence of Nickel, Palladium or Platinum.
      This reaction is used to synthesize saturated hydrocarbons which are used in the food you eat.
      Although unsaturated hydrocarbons are healthier than the saturated ones
