CDV of President John Tyler with Brady & Anthony Backmark. 
John Tyler (1790–1862) was the 10th President of the United States, serving from 1841 to 1845. Born on March 29, 1790, into a prominent planter family in Charles City County, Virginia, he trained as a lawyer and entered politics as a strict Jeffersonian Democrat who strongly supported states’ rights. He served in the Virginia legislature, as a U.S. Congressman, Senator, and Governor of Virginia before being selected as William Henry Harrison’s running mate on the Whig ticket in 1840, famously campaigning under the slogan “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too.”
When Harrison died just 31 days after taking office, Tyler became the first vice president to succeed to the presidency, earning the derisive nickname “His Accidency” from critics who doubted his full legitimacy. His administration was marked by fierce conflict with the Whig Party; he vetoed major bills, including efforts to create a national bank, which led to his expulsion from the party and the resignation of his entire cabinet (except for Secretary of State Daniel Webster). Despite the political isolation, Tyler achieved a significant success with the annexation of Texas in 1845, which expanded U.S. territory. A lifelong defender of slavery, he later aligned with the Confederacy during the Civil War and served briefly in its provisional Congress. He died on January 18, 1862, in Richmond, Virginia, at the age of 71. Tyler is remembered as a principled but polarizing figure who established the important constitutional precedent for vice-presidential succession.
