Horace Greeley, one of a growing number of northerners who wanted the case settled so the country could get on with the healing process, had secured backing for the bond and personally guaranteed a quarter of it

Greeley was a Democrat and ran against Grant in the election of 1872. Consider him the intellectual forefather to the MoveOn.org ilk that wanted to "Move On" and let Slick Willie off on the impeachment rap.

And Andrew Johnson was the first president to get impeached. He retained office. That sounds more Slick Willie than any of your nonsense.
