Andrew Johnson was vehemently opposed to the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves.

Johnson also urged Southern states not to ratify the amendment, but by 1868, it had been ratified by the required number of states and became part of the Constitution.
