326 CHARLES SUMNER is ... A moral judgment against him. ' 1 Yet it was soon recognized even by Republican leaders, that the attempted impeachment had been unwise and that the large vote for conviction was to be attributed to party feeling rather than to the strength of the case against Johnson. Sumner often showed rare gifts of foresight, but he never dreamed that within forty years of his fierce on- slaught upon Johnson there would be general ac- quiescence in the verdict of the judicious hist...orian, Mr. James Ford Rhodes: "The impeachment managers did not prove their charges and the minority of the Senate undoubtedly gave a righteous judgment. . . . The glory of the trial was the action of the seven recusant sena- tors. " Sumner's intense feeling and extravagant language must be attributed to his disappointment at Johnson's general policy as to reconstruction, and in particular to his shift as to equal suffrage, which in Sumner's opinion was then the one all- engrossing need. In this lay Johnson's u bare-faced treachery"; it was this which made him the one i( enormous criminal" of his century.
