“Calmly reviewing my administration of the Government, I feel that, with a sense of accountability to God, having conscientiously endeavored to discharge my whole duty, I have nothing to regret.”
“If the North and the South understood each other better, there would be nothing in the way of our being united, prosperous, and happy. That is the greatest desire I have–to see the people of all sections of our country living in harmony and peace.”
– President Andrew Johnson, March 1869
