One way in which President Andrew Johnson and President Bill Clinton are similar is that both were 4. acquitted by the Senate after being impeached. Andrew Johnson was impeached after removing his Secretary of War from office, breaking a law which stated the President could not remove Secretaries from the Cabinet without Congressional approval. Bill Clinton was impeached after it was discovered he lied under oath; when asked if he had had intimate relations with a White House aide, Monica Lewinsky, he stated "no," but then it was discovered that was false. However, both remained President because neither were found guilty by the Senate.
Morale, better military generals, and allies in Europe were apparent advantages of the <u>South.</u>
Because the Americans knew that if they entered the war they would need a lot of money, lives would be lost, it was questionable what would happen with the political scene; whether the ruling party would still have the majority vote once it was all over, they would be more susceptible to attack, etc.
There are many factors to consider before deciding on entering a war.
