Andrew Johnson Rare 1865 Document Signed as President
Andrew Johnson (December 29, 1808 – July 31, 1875) was the 17th president of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. He assumed the presidency as he was vice president at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Johnson was a Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket, coming to office as the Civil War concluded. He favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union without protection for the former slaves. This led to conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868. He was acquitted in the Senate by one vote.
Andrew Johnson document signed as President, dated 7 May 1865, less than a month after he took office. Countersigned by Edwin M. Stanton as Secretary of War, document appoints a George Schayer Captain in the Veteran Reserve Corps. Includes two ornate motifs at top and bottom of document, with an original blue mounted seal and docketing annotations at top left. Document measures 16″ x 19.5″, with minor toning and folds, else is in near fine condition. Sold for $850.
