He won by a landslide after becoming president by accident when Kennedy was killed. He became "the people's choice" and it must have given him confidence to push his programs through Congress in the belief that he had the people behind him

Andrew Johnson did nothing to help newly freed slaves. He was more concerned with helping White people who were hurt by the Civil War, especially Southerns. While Andrew Johnson was fulfilling President Abraham Lincoln's pledge to forgive the South after the war, he ignored everything President Lincoln wanted to do to help the newly freed slaves after the end of the war.

When is a President more likely to be successful in using persuasive skills with Congress?

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but here is one possible answer. When the president and the majority of Congress is of the same party the President will use persuasive ways to get his bills passed. The president will appear at campaign stops in order to help get the congressmen on his side. Congressmen up for election need a lot of money for re-election and a visiting president will get him that money. This is happening right now for the 2006 elections. Bush is visiting with GOP congressmen at privite donation dinners. He is also making public stops with them, but not too many, because his ratings are real low at this point.
