Book excerpt: Recreates the 12 years after the Civil War when Andrew Johnson was maligned by his enemies because he was seeking honestly to carry out the conciliatory and wise policy of Lincoln.

Shows the psychological effect on Southern people of the despotic policies of which they were the victims.
