43

FIRST PASSAGE
Even with his diverse experience as an elected official at the
state level, Andrew Johnson was the first president of the
United States ever to be impeached, primarily because of his
violent temper and unyielding stubbornness. His career 44
started in 1828 with his collection to the city council of
Greenville, 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 US House
of Representatives for five consecutive terms.
45
In 1864, Johnson ran for the office of vice-president on the
Lincoln-Johnson ticket and was inaugurated in 1865. After
Lincolns 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 46
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
allegiance. He further reorganised the former Confederate
47
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
Johnsons veto of the Civil Rights Bill, which awarded them
citizenship and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment. In the
years that followed, Congress passed bills depriving the
president of the power to pardon political criminals, stripping
away his status of commander-in-chief, and taking away
Johnsons right to dismiss civil and executive officers from
their duties. Johnson vetoed each bill, and each veto was
overridden. When Johnson dismissed the 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-thirds majority necessary to remove him from
office. After Johnsons term expired, he returned to his home
state, but in 1875 he was elected senator and went back to
Washington to take his seat.

1 Skiing is one of the most popular sports in the world.

2 According to recent estimation, about one hundred
3 millions of people ski regularly or occasionally.
Sliding across the snow on skis is also one of the most
ancient methods of transport known to the man. It has
demonstrated that men were already traveling across the
snow by means of primitive skis before the invention of the
wheel. In the Asiatic region of Altai and in Scandinavia, for
example, the remains of skis have been found which dated
back to 4,000 BC. Further evidence is supplied by ancient
cave paintings which depict people skiing, and a Norway
saga which tells the story of an invasion of its territory
8,000 years ago by a tribe of skiers who came from the
north.

Nowadays, skiing, apart from a sport, has become a big

industry and a notable feature of leisure culture. Ski resorts
and all the activity that they generate is the main source of
wealth in many mountain regions, which were previously
remote and accessible. And far from its once elitist image,
skiing is now enjoyed by an increasingly broader spectra of
society.
