STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESSES - ANDREW JOHNSON T...

The 1866 State of the Union Address was given by Andrew Johnson  the 17th president of the
United States. It was not a spoken address  but a written one. The Reconstruction Era had begun
and Johnson wanted a policy that pardoned the leaders of the Confederate States of America.
Excerpt: In all of the States civil authority has superseded the coercion of arms  and the
people  by their voluntary action  are maintaining their governments in full activity and
complete operation. In the middle  he said  In our efforts to preserve the unity of government
which constitutes as one people by restoring the States to the condition which they held prior
to the rebellion  we should be cautious  lest  having rescued our nation from perils of
threatened disintegration  we resort to consolidation  and in the end absolute despotism  as a
remedy for the recurrence of similar troubles.
