Even with his diverse experience as an elected official at the state level, Andrew J~hnson
was the first
president of the United States ever to be impeached, primarily because of his violent
temper and unyielding
stubbornness. His career started in 1828 with his collection to the city council of Greenvill
e, Tennessee, and after
two years as an alderman, he took office as mayor. His advancements followed in rapid
succession when he was
elected to the Tennessee state senate, then as the state governor, and later to the U.S. House
of Representatives for
five consecutive terms.
·
In 1864, Johnson ran for the office of vice-president on the Lincoln- Johnson ticket and was inaugurat
ed in
1865. After Lincoln's assassination six weeks into his term, Johnson found himself
president at a time when
southern leaders were concerned about their forced alliance with the northern states and
feared retaliation for their
support of the secession. Instead, however, with the diplomatic skill he had learned from
Lincoln, Johnson offered
full pardon to almost all Confederates on the condition that they take an oath of allegianc
e. He further reorganized
the former Confederate states and set up legislative elections.
.
Congressional opposition to his peace- making policies resulted in gridlock between
the House and
Johnson, and the stalemate grew into an open conflict on the issue of the emancipation
of slaves. While Johnson
held the view that newly freed slaves lacked understanding and knowledge of civil liberties
to vote intelligently,
Congress overrode Johnson' s veto of the Civil Rights Bill, which awarded them
citizenship and ratified the

·, pardon political criminals, stripping away his status of commander-in-chief, and taking away Johnson · s right to
.,.,, ' dismiss civil and executive officers from their duties. Johnson vetoed each bill, and each veto was overridden .
When Johnson dismissedvthe secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, Stanton refused to step down and was supported by
the House of Representatives, which voted to impeach Johnson. At the trial, the Senate came one vote short of the
two-th irds majority necessary to remove him from office. After Johnson's tenn expired, he returned to his home
state, but in 1875 he was elected senator and went back to Washington to take his seat.

Even before the tum of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the
fonnalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When used to suggest a
tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in. the end they are just labels. Few films are
exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an important difference between
realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism is a particular type, whereas physical
reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually, all movie directors go
to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material- how they shape and
manipulate it- detennines their stylistic emphasis. ·
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of
distortion. In photographing objects and events, the Filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life itself. Both
realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of
reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious. Realists, in short, to preserve the illusion that
their film world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror the actual world. Formalists, -on the other hand, make no
such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a
manipulated image of an object or event for ·the real thing. We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; ·the artist
tends to be self-effacing. The filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated.
The camera is used conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that produces the surface of tangible
objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness.
It is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema specializes in art that
conceals art.
