What motivated so many Americans to migrate to the Sunbelt?

"It is apparent to my mind that the President thoroughly believed the tenure-of­ office act to be unconstitutional and void. He was so advised by every member of his cabinet ....

"This was a punitive statute. It was directed against the President alone. It interfered with the prerogatives of his department as recognized from the foun­- dation of the Government. ... This Government can only be preserved and the liberty of the people maintained by preserving intact the co-ordinate branches of it - legislative, executive, judicial-alike. I am no convert to any doctrine of the omnipotence of Congress.

"I cannot agree to destroy the ... Constitution for the sake of getting rid of an Unacceptable President."

-Senator James W. Grimes, Iowa, statement on the trial of Andrew Johnson, $1868$

"This is one of the last great battles with slavery .... this monstrous power has found a refuge in the Executive Mansion, ... Andrew Johnson is the imperson­- ation of the tyrannical slave power ....

"The veto power conferred by the Constitution ... was turned by him into a weapon of offence against Congress. . . . Laws enacted by Congress for the benefit of the colored race, including ... the Freedmen's Bureau, and ... Civil Rights, were first attacked by his veto .... he boldly attempted to prevent the adoption of a constitutional amendment, by which the right of citizens and the national debt were placed under the guarantee of irrepealable law."

-Senator Charles Sumner, Massachusetts, statement on the trial of Andrew Johnson, Congressional Globe, $1868$
