John Tyler (1790-1862). US House of Representatives (1816--19),
the Virginia Governorship (1825--7), US Senate (1827--36), and
10th President of the US (1841-1845).yler won election as William
Henry Harrison's vice-president in 1840, then ascended to the
presidency on Harrison's death in April 1841. He soon alienated
his Whig supporters by resisting a new national bank; at one
point he had to lead the White House staff in holding off a violent
mob, and in 1843 the Whigs even threatened to impeach him. Nonetheless,
his term saw the Webster-Ashburton Treaty fixing the borders
of the US and Canada; he also encouraged the move to annex Texas.
Long out of the public eye after failing to be nominated in 1844,
Tyler headed a Southern peace mission to find a compromise to
avoid splitting the Union in 1861. When that failed, he voted
for Virginia to secede and was elected to the Confederate House
of Representatives just before his death.
