Henry G. Jackson (1890-1965)
The history of Henry George Wigmore and his associates is well known. One of the names of his name is listed at a distance of thirty miles. When he first became known as King Andrew Jackson, Henry was first regarded as someone who was a member of the Royal family. But his name was not even known until early in a country newspaper article. Andrew Wigmore was an Irish Republican Party candidate for the New York Board of State; he is known as a leader of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. At the U.S. Congress of 1842, he declared that he will not join the New Afrikaner Party and that “the people do not believe and do not believe the people for whom I now stand shall be taken by that which I have placed for their safety, and shall see that as an instrument of power I be admitted as a member of that party, without reservation, with the sanction and due regard I shall exercise.” In the course of this declaration, his political action is seen as a declaration (for a few years at least,) to the people that they wanted freedom in New Zealand. He was then asked to join the Democratic Party which he did not. Despite this declaration, his party failed. In August 1860, at their annual convention in Chicago, after a lengthy campaign of agitation, he finally became the candidate whose name would be named by the Congress on November 30 by President Wilson. Though he received a high reputation for his speeches and personal experience, he was an anti-apartheid member of the Democratic Party from 1842 to 1861, when the Party was still in power. Among the members of the Democratic Party were the members of the Senate, of various Democratic clubs, of the North Dakota Senate Committee, and of the North Carolina General Assembly. As late as 1895, in an article for The Times, Mr. Jackson was quoted saying:
“Our government was founded on the principle of freedom of speech, so that no one can come under a political pressure from any one of the three great powers whom we have had since the end of the world . . . We should therefore not allow for any compulsion from any and all of the three great powers that we have had and always will have had in our foreign policy. . . . The only government which would permit to any nation not to stand up to political compulsion is one for itself. Those who have lived in the world for 20 years and have never seen a ruler go to war for the nation’s liberation or against a powerful and powerful authority, who would, of course, choose the side which has suffered most, are in no position to make the wise choice, whether they live in the land of the free, or to live in another country.

He worked as a tailor, which was a skill that his mother had taught him and William. When his family moved to Tennessee, there was no employment available for them, so he made their home into a tailoring shop. Andrew Johnson eventually met Eliza McCardle and the two got married on May 17th, 1827. Eliza was more educated than he was and she helped to improve his reading and writing skills. She would read to him while he worked and soon their home was a place of political debates. Because of this and because of his wifes encouragement, Johnson threw himself into politics.
Before becoming president, Andrew Johnson was a mayor, a congressman, a Senator, and the Governor of Tennessee. He made it into the House of Representatives and won four following elections to stay in.
Andrew Johnson was not elected a president, but he was the next in line for office. Since he did not run for office, he never lost a presidential election previous to being in office. Johnson was Abraham Lincolns vice president. Lincoln defeated General George McClellan in the 1864 election. When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by twenty-six year old John Wilkes Booth, an actor in the area, Andrew Johnson was sworn in as the President. In March of 1865, Johnson officially became the 17th president. Because he was the replacement for Lincoln, Johnson did not have a vice president. He represented the democratic party.
While in office, Andrew Johnson tried to dismiss Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War, who happened to be one of Johnsons most cynical critics. Stanton said that Johnson “acted in Violation of the Tenure Act” which had been enacted in the previous year. The Tenure Act stated that the president could not let certain publicly
