Answer:
The correct answer is C. President Andrew Johnson was from Tennessee and liked the south.
Explanation:
Andrew Johnson was born in Raleigh, North Carolina and was self-taught. He moved to Tennessee in 1826, where he worked as a tailor.
In 1864, Republican Abraham Lincoln chose him as vice president. He was sworn in on March 4, 1865. After Lincoln's murder on April 15, 1865, he succeeded him as president.
Johnson ruled in the Reconstruction period, the period just after the Civil War, in which the southern slave states were again involved in the Union. He continued the policy that Lincoln had put in place, but wanted to admit the southern states much quicker. However, this was structurally opposed by Congress, which was dominated by the Republicans. Congress first wanted guarantees regarding the civil rights of the black population before they allowed the states to rejoin the nation.
