Our 2023 Road Trip #21: The Andrew Johnson Fan Club

Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: Every year since 1999 Anne and I have taken one road trip to a different part of the United States and seen attractions, wonders, and events we didn’t have back home. From 1999 to 2003 we did so as best friends; from 2004 to the present, as husband and wife. After years of contenting ourselves with everyday life in Indianapolis and any nearby places that also had comics and toy shops, we overcame some of our self-imposed limitations and resolved as a team to leave the comforts of home for annual chances to see creative, exciting, breathtaking, outlandish, historical, and/or bewildering new sights in states beyond our own. We’re the Goldens. This is who we are and what we do. For 2023 it was time at last to venture to the Carolinas, the only southern states we hadn't yet visited... ...which we exited after breakfast on Day Six. We spent the rest of our last full day in Tennessee, where we checked off an item on another to-do list of ours. On past trips we’d visited the graves, tombs, mausoleums and virtual posthumous palaces of the Presidents of the United States of America with varying accommodations and budgets. As our sole long-distance driver and a part-time retro-gamer who's a fan of side quests, I’ve enjoyed those little jaunts so much that we've been planning our recent vacations around them. We don't know if we'll get to every dead President, but it's fun trying. And that means every American President, not just your fan-favorites. We've seen James Buchanan's in southern Pennsylvania, Chester A. Arthur's in Albany, and even Warren Harding's giant Greek temple in Ohio. They can't all be Best Presidents Ever, and they're all interred somewhere. Some are fancier than others, but nary a President has ended up in a potter's field. So far, so good. […]

Scumbag #WhiteSupremacist #AndrewJohnson vetoed the #CivilRightsActOf1866 on #ThisDayInHistory in 1866. His veto was subsequently overridden by the #Republican congress and #Reconstruction continued over his obstruction. It should have gone much farther & exiled all the slavers.

The first of four #Reconstruction acts passed on #ThisDayInHistory in 1867, over the veto of fuckwit Pres. #AndrewJohnson. These acts laid out the means by which #Confederate states could be readmitted. The whole area should have been reorganized & given to Black Americans, IMHO.

One of the most viciously #WhiteSupremacist shitstains to occupy the #WhiteHouse, #AndrewJohnson was impeached by the House on #ThisDayInHistory in 1868 for his obstruction of #Reconstruction and pardons of former #Confederate figures. He survived trial in the Senate by one vote.

#AndrewJohnson speaks with a #Canadian veteran about his experiences fighting in #Afghanistan and the outrage sparked by comments made by #DonaldTrump that #NATO, including 40,000 #Canadians troops played a "minimal role" in #Afghanistan. 🇨🇦 🌎 #Cdnmilitary #Cdnsecurity youtu.be/4cclD_jc624?...
