Summary "The Struggle between President Johnson and Congress over Reconstruction" by Charles Ernest Chadsey is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the contentious relationship and political battles between President Andrew Johnson and Congress as the United States navigated the complexities of Reconstruction following the Civil War. The book explores various theories of governance during this tumultuous period, focusing on the contrasting visions of reconstruction held by the President and Congress. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the constitutional and political dilemmas faced by the United States after the end of the Civil War. It introduces the key players and ideas, highlighting the unresolved questions regarding the status of the seceded states and the varying interpretations of federal and state powers. Chadsey outlines the initial beliefs of Congress regarding the handling of these states and contrasts them with the forthcoming policies adopted under Johnson’s leadership. The groundwork is laid for a deeper exploration of the significant legislative and ideological conflicts that emerged, which would ultimately shape the future of American governance during the Reconstruction era.
