During Reconstruction, President Andrew Johnson's leniency with former Confederate officials and his veto of legislation designed to provide civil rights and financial aid to former slaves angered the Radical Republicans. This power struggle between legislative and executive branch would result in his eventual impeachment in 1868. Johnson was acquitted by one vote in the Senate in 1869.
