Ron Chernow Quote
On September 9 the tour touched its nadir in St. Louis when Johnson, in another intemperate outburst, had the gall to blame Congress for the New Orleans riot: Every drop of blood that was shed is upon their skirts, and they are responsible for it.67 Turning himself into a martyr, he proclaimed, I have been traduced. I have been slandered. I have been maligned.
