Johnson’s stubborn policy to blame for election setback
The article argues President Johnson bears responsibility for an expected adverse election result, criticizing his speeches and stance as insulting to northern opinion. It contends his veto of conciliatory measures, alignment with the old State rights doctrine, and lack of focus on southern reconstruction have alienated moderates and strengthened Radical momentum. It also assesses impeachment grounds and the feasibility of Congress overpowering him, implying the North will press for stronger Reconstruction and the South forfeits substantial representation.
