The narrative explores Andrew Johnson's presidency following Lincoln's assassination during a pivotal time in American history. Initially perceived as a progressive leader by the Black community, Johnson's early promises sparked hope for significant federal policies promoting Black equality. However, as his administration unfolded, Frederick Douglass, a key figure in the fight for Black rights, became disenchanted with Johnson's actions, leading to growing skepticism about the president's true commitment to supporting Black citizenship and rights.
