    One of the sad ironies of American history that the country was worse off for this, and so was Johnson's historical memory. Lafayette Foster of Connecticut, whose only executive experience was as Mayor of Norwich, would have become president.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1300574517312532481 …

    Respect to George Atzerodt, who was supposed to kill Andrew Johnson and got as far as “asking a bartender where he was” and got hammered instead.

        Lafayette S. Foster, third in line for the presidency on April 14, 1865. He later turned down being Speaker of the House to return to the Connecticut Supreme Court, then defected to the Democrats in 1874. So, probably not the man to run Reconstruction.pic.twitter.com/nMfWEC8ddp

        Side note: Foster did accomplish the great aspiration of his era, eliminating any space between his whiskers and his shirt collar.

        I have to admit: I did not have “everybody would have been better off if a dude had gotten murdered, including the dude who wasn’t murdered” on my Bingo card.

        Wait, am I not understanding? The country was worse off that Johnson *wasn’t* assassinated?
