. Which of the following statements about President Andrew Johnson is true?

A. He was well educated, but he was a poor stump speaker.
B. He defended the planter aristocracy.
C. He was impeached and forced from office.
D. He was raised under conditions of extreme poverty.



Answer :

The correct answer is D. : he was raised under the conditions of extreme poverty.  An example showing his poverty was the fact that he was born in a log cabin, which he could use to gain people's favourable opinion of him.

Being this poor, he could not afford a good education (option A is false), and favoured smaller farmers rather than planter aristocracy (option B is false). He was not impeached, but failed to secure a nomination for re-election from the Democrats.(option C is false)
