- United_States_presidential_election,_1840 abstract "The United States presidential election of 1840 was the 14th quadrennial presidential election, held from Friday, October 30, to Wednesday, December 2, 1840. It saw President Martin Van Buren fight for re-election during a time of great economic depression against a Whig Party unified for the first time behind a single candidate: war hero William Henry Harrison. Under these circumstances, the Whigs easily defeated Van Buren.This election was unique in that electors cast votes for four men who had been or would become President of the United States: current President Martin Van Buren; President-elect William Henry Harrison; Vice-President-elect John Tyler, who would succeed Harrison upon his death; and James K. Polk, who received one electoral vote for vice-president, and who would succeed Tyler in 1845. 42.4% of the voting age population voted for Harrison, the highest percentage in the history of the United States up to that time.The 67-year-old Harrison was the oldest President elected until Ronald Reagan in 1980 and died little more than a month after his inauguration. His vice-president John Tyler succeeded him; albeit a law for such was not yet created, and had a much controversial term. The precedent of the vice-president succeeding upon the president's death was followed for seven more presidents before it was officially allowed in 1967. Ever since no vice-president had succeeded to the office, since no president had died since. The choice of Tyler for Vice President proved to be disastrous for the Whigs: while Tyler had been a staunch supporter of Clay at the convention, he was a former Democrat and a passionate supporter of states' rights who blocked the Whigs' political program in office. Instead of giving Tyler a full four year term, he only served what was left of Harrison's term until Inauguration Day; and was not given the chance to get one full term.The Whigs would only elect one other president in 1848: Zachary Taylor. Taylor would also die in office, only serving for little more than a year, and his successor Millard Fillmore destroyed the Whig image and the Whig Party dissolved after the election of 1852. Many former Whigs, however in the 1856 election, became members of the Republican party. The Republicans elected their first president: Abraham Lincoln in 1860. After Ulysses S. Grant was elected in 1868, the Republicans won every election until 1884. Since then, the Republican party was the Democratic party's biggest opponent. There have been 15 Republican Presidents after Lincoln.President Martin Van Buren, who lost this election, attempted to regain the Democratic nomination in 1844. Upon losing, he won the nomination of the Free-Soil party in 1848. However, he lost in third place.".
