Andrew Johnson 17th president. Took over after Lincoln assassination

17th Congress term was officially March 4, 1821, to March 4, 1823; Passed Tariff of Abominations that led directly to Civil War (see previous 17)

17th Amendment made Senators a popular choice instead of a State's choice; effectively disenfranchised States of any Federal power, adopted 1913

 

All of the 17s above deal directly with US going to war with itself and loss of State power. (Civil War was really about State v Federal power)
