Question:
The first Johnson document is a campaign speech. How might this
influence what he says?

Speech:
Andrew Johnson was a Democrat who served as President of the
United States from 1865 to 1869. The following is a series of
excerpts from a campaign speech that Johnson gave in
September 1866 in Cleveland, Ohio. In the speech he discusses
the Freedmen’s Bureau, which was a federal agency designed to
help formerly enslaved people with jobs and education. Radical
Republicans, like Thaddeus Stevens, supported additional
funding for the Freedmen’s Bureau.
Before the Civil War there were 4,000,000 black people held as
slaves by about 340,000 people living in the South. That is,
340,000 slave owners paid all the living expenses of the slaves.
Then, the war began and the slaves were freed . . . Now to the
Freedmen’s Bureau bill. What was it? Four million slaves were
emancipated and given an equal chance and fair start to work and
produce . . . But the Freedmen's Bureau comes and says we
must take charge of these 4,000,000 slaves. The bureau comes
along and proposes, at a cost of $12,000,000 a year, to take
charge of these slaves. You had already spent $3,000,000,000 to
set them free and give them a fair opportunity to take care of
themselves - then these [Radical Republicans], who are such
great friends of the people, tell us they must be taxed
$12,000,000 to sustain the Freedmen's Bureau
