Description

Excerpt from The Presidents of the United States, 1789-1914, Vol. 3 From Greenville he went to the west, but returned after the lapse of a year. In those days Tennessee was controlled by landholders, whose interests were fostered by the state constitution, and Green ville was ruled by what was called an aristocratic coterie of the quality. Johnson resisted their su premacy, and made himself a leader of the oppo sition. In 1828 he was elected alderman, in 1829 and 1830 was re-elected and in 1830'was advanced to the mayoralty, which Office he held for three years. In 1831 the county court appointed him a trustee of Rhea academy, and about this time he took part in the debates of a society at Greenville college. In 1834 he advocated the adoption of the new state constitution, by which the influence of the large landholders was abridged. In 1835 he represented Greene and Washington counties in the legislature. He resisted the popular mania for internal improvements, which caused his de feat in 1837, but the reaction justified his fore sight, strengthened his influence, and restored his popularity. In 1839 he was returned. In 1836 he supported Hugh L. White for the presidency, and was a Bell man in the warm personal and political altercations between John Bell and James K. Polk, which distracted Tennessee at this time. Johnson was the only ardent follower Of Bell that failed to go over to the Whig party. In 1840 he was an elector for the state-at-large on Van Buren's ticket. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
