He served two nonconsecutive terms as a U.S. Senator from Maryland, and he was U.S. Attorney General during the Zachary Taylor administration. As a defense attorney, he was involved in several notable cases, being the defense attorney for John Sandford in the Dred Scott case, and he was one of Mary Surratt's attorneys in the conspiracy trial following President Lincoln's assassination. While Johnson lived in a slave state, he personally opposed slavery.
