That statement is true.

Explanation:

At that time, The Freedman's Bureau initiated several programs in order to aid the former-slaves in integrating with the society. The Bureau created job training and education programs in order to improve the quality of workforce within the African American community.

But Johnson vetoed this bill in June 25, 1868, without giving any valid reason.

His action was deemed as controversial at that time. Many people believe that it's based on racism. He didn't want the African American community to improve their life.

In the end, the house chose to call for President Johnson's impeachment. They manage to get it with a 126 to 47.
