"A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 6, part 2" compiled by James D. Richardson is a collection of presidential documents published between 1897 and 1911. This volume preserves the proclamations, messages, and speeches of Andrew Johnson during his presidency from April 1865 to March 1869. The compilation became part of a controversial political dispute over copyright of public documents, ultimately leading to prohibitions on copyrighting federal government works. It stands as an essential historical record of presidential communications during the Reconstruction era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
