Excerpt: ... chapter V the thirty-ninth congress and reconstruction (1865-67) In this great Congress, Johnson's career was most conspicuous. Sitting on the right of the Vice-President's Chair and in the row of seats nearest his desk, Johnson was one of the most prominent figures in the house.1 He was "perhaps the most eminent lawyer in a body, where legal ability always commands much respect, and he showed that his mind had lost none of its force and power, though he was now about seventy years of age. He was the oldest member of the body, in years, if not in service, and his conciliatory disposition and friendly relations with all the members did much to increase the efficiency of his leadership of the minority. Hon. George H. Williams of Oregon, one of the last survivors of the Senators who served with Johnson, wrote thus of him on May 9, 1906: I was admitted to practise in the Supreme Court of the United States on the motion of Mr. Reverdy Johnson and was with him in the Senate. Mr. Johnson was an exceedingly amiable and accomplished gentleman, a lawyer observing the dignity of the Senate and the civilities of social intercourse. He was a great lawyer and had a remarkable and accurate knowledge of the decisions of the Courts at his command. He was a frequent speaker in the Senate and a ready debater 1W. H. Barnes, History of the Thirty-Ninth Congress, p. 24. An engraving of Johnson is opposite p. 203. W. G. Brown, Thirty-ninth Congress, 07 Atlantic Monthly 466. At p. 473, Brown writes "So long as the discussion concerned itself with theory," Johnson "could hold his own with Fessenden and Trumbull. He could more than hold his own with Sumner, who was never strong on legal questions." upon almost all the questions that arose in that body. He was a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Reverdy Johnson After the argument of his first case in the Supreme Court in 1806, another Maryland lawyer (Luther Martin was the first), William Pinkney, stepped to the front, where he remained until his death in 1822 - the undisputed head of the American Bar (Warren, History of American Bar, p. 259). William Pinkney remained the undisputed head of the Bar, until his death in 1822. Thereafter Daniel Webster over shadowed all others in the importance of cases argued and in the mastery of the great principles of constitutional law (op. cit., p. 368). William Wirt of Maryland continued in constant and vigorous practise until his death in 1834, and his place at the Bar was taken by Reverdy Johnson, who, for many years after Webster's death, was regarded as the leading American lawyer (op. cit., p. 411). The paragraphs which have just been quoted show the esteem in which the subject of this biography is held as a lawyer. His eminence is by no means confined to practice at the bar. Entering politics, he was elected to the United States Senate as a Whig, and, though he supported the loose construction and protective principles of his party, he broke from it as to the Mexican War. In Taylor's cabinet he served as attorney general. At the break up of the Whig party, he became a follower of Douglas. A Border State Union man, his efforts were notable in 1861 to prevent the secession of his state. While serving a second term in the United States Senate, his mediating position was an important one. He was thoroughly loyal, yet sympathized with the Southern people and, in the difficult period of reconstruction, he did much towards ameliorating conditions.

Book Synopsis Two against Lincoln by : William C. Harris
Download or read book Two against Lincoln written by William C. Harris and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2017-04-14 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverdy Johnson (1796–1876), Maryland senator, and Horatio Seymour, Democratic governor of New York, were two influential opponents of Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans during the Civil War. But unlike the Copperheads, they staunchly supported the war to suppress the rebellion. The story of these two figures of the loyal opposition by Lincoln Prize–winning author William C. Harris provides a new way of understanding critical controversies relating to the purpose of the Civil War, its conduct, emancipation, white racial opinion, loyalty, military conscription, and civil liberties. Johnson, a distinguished lawyer, former Whig, and conservative Unionist, did not believe that the secessionist states had left the Union, an idea with broad implications for post-war reconstruction. Like Seymour, he opposed Republican efforts in Washington to end slavery, assuming such a policy would backfire against the Union. However, Johnson in 1864 spoke in favor of the Thirteenth Amendment to abolish slavery. Before the war, Seymour supported Stephen Douglas's popular sovereignty policies, allowing the territories to decide whether or not to permit slavery, and during the war he opposed any tampering with slavery. Two Against Lincoln explores how these two men negotiated issues of emancipation, reconstruction, and reconciliation, all while navigating the roiling currents of partisan politics. The book includes illuminating accounts of the framing of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1866, the ephemeral National Union (Democratic) Party of 1866, the role of Senator Johnson in the approval of the military reconstruction acts of 1867, the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson, and, finally, the presidential election of 1868 in which Seymour as the Democratic candidate did better than expected against war hero U. S. Grant. Building on the author's award winning work on Lincoln and the border states, Two Against Lincoln illustrates the complexity of political divisions in the Union states, as embodied in two powerful, controversial leaders of the time.
