John Tyler, the tenth president of the United States from 1841 to 1845, was an American politician and lawyer. He assumed the presidency after the death of President William Henry Harrison, having been elected vice president on the 1840 Whig ticket. Tyler was a strong advocate for states’ rights and often clashed with the Whig-controlled Congress over nationalistic policies that encroached on state powers. His presidency was marked by internal party strife, as he vetoed bills from his own party and was eventually expelled from the Whig Party. Historians have mixed opinions on Tyler’s time in office.
