Summary "A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents" by James D. Richardson is a historical account compiled in the late 19th century. This volume specifically focuses on the presidency of Andrew Johnson, covering his terms from April 15, 1865, to March 4, 1869, detailing crucial messages and proclamations made during a significant period in American history, particularly during the post-Civil War era. The opening of the text consists of a biographical overview of Andrew Johnson, illustrating his humble beginnings and the rise to the presidency following Lincoln's assassination. It outlines Johnson's early life, political career, challenges faced in Congress, his views on reconstruction, and significant events and proclamations during his presidency.
