Season 1, Episode 17: Andrew Johnson and Raleigh

Visit the third and final Tar Heel President, Andrew Johnson, born across the street from today’s North Carolina State Capitol in Raleigh!

Johnson is one of our true rags-to-…power presidents, having to work from a young age and never attending a day of school. Learn about his unique rise to the presidency and how his upbringing contributed to his blind spots as a president.
