While many donât make the cut, the message below is one we believe deserves your consideration. John Tyler became the tenth President of the United States (1841-1845) when President William Henry Harrison died in April 1841. He was the first Vice President to succeed to the Presidency after the death of his predecessor. Dubbed âHis Accidencyâ by his detractors, John Tyler was the first Vice President to be elevated to the office of President by the death of his predecessor. Born in Virginia in 1790, he was raised believing that the Constitution must be strictly construed. He neer wavered from this conviction. He attended the College of William and Mary and studied law. Serving in the House of Representatives from 1816 to 1821, Tyler voted against most nationalist legislation and opposed the Missouri Compromise. After leaving the House he served as Governor of Virginia. As a Senator he reluctantly supported Jackson for President as a choice of evils. Tyler son joined the statesâ rights Southerners in Congress who banded with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and their newly formed Whig party opposing President Jackson. The Whigs nominated Tyler for Vice President in 1840, hoping for support from southern statesâ-righters who could not stomach Jacksonian Democracy. The slogan âTippecanoe and Tyler Tooâ implied flag waving nationalism plus a dash of southern sectionalism. The aged Jackson, correctly sensing that the people favored expansion, urged the choice of a candidate committed to the Nationâs âManifest Destiny.â This view prevailed at the Democratic Convention, where Polk was nominated on the ninth ballot. âWho is James K. Polk?â Whigs jeered. Democrats replied Polk was the candidate who stood for expansion. He linked the Texas issue, popular in the South, with the Oregon question, attractive to the North. Polk also favored acquiring California. Even before he could take office, Congress passed a joint resolution offering annexation to Texas. In so doing they bequeathed Polk the possibility of war with Mexico, which severed diplomatic relations. In his stand on Oregon, the President seemed to be risking war with Britain also. The 1844 Democratic platform claimed the entire Oregon area, from the California boundary northward to a latitude of 54â40â, the southern boundary of Russian Alaska. Extremists proclaimed âFifty-four forty or fight,â but Polk, aware of diplomatic realities, knew that no course short of war was likely to of Oregon. Happily, neither he nor the British wanted a war. He offered to settle by extending the Canadian boundary, along the 49th parallel, from the Rockies to the Pacific. When the British minister declined, Polk reasserted the American claim to the entire area. Finally, the British settled for the 49th parallel, except for the southern tip of Vancouver Island. The treaty was signed in 1846. Acquisition of California proved far more difficult. Polk sent an envoy to Mexico up to , plus settlement of damage owed to Americans, in return for California and the Mexico country. Since no Mexican leader could cede half his country and still stay in power, Polkâs envoy was not received. To bring pressure, Polk sent Gen. Zachary Taylor to the disputed area on the Rio Grande. Dear Reader, Biden understands a simple political reality⦠During the last century, only four people have been elected president but then lost a bid for a second term: Herbert Hoover, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and Donald Trump. What did they all have in common? Each of them faced a weakening or recessionary economy during their re-election campaign. The administration of this statesâ-righter strengthened the Presidency. But it also increased sectional cleavage that led toward civil war. By the end of his term, Tyler had replaced the original Whig Cabinet with southern conservatives. In 1844 Calhoun became Secretary of State. Later these men returned to the Democratic Party, committed to the preservation of statesâ rights, planter interests, and the institution of slavery. Whigs became more representative of northern business and farming interests. When the first southern states seceded in 1861, Tyler led a compromise movement; failing, he worked to create the Southern Confederacy. He died in 1862, a mmber of the Confederate House of Representatives. Often referred to as the first âdark horseâ President, James K. Polk was the last of the Jacksonians to sit in the White House, and the last strong President until the Civil War. He was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in 1795. Studious and industrious, Polk was graduated with honors in 1818 from the University of North Carolina. As a young lawyer he entered politics, served in the Tennessee legislature, and became a of Andrew Jackson. In the House of Representatives, Polk was a chief lieutenant of Jackson in his war. He served as Speaker between 1835 and 1839, leaving to become Governor of Tennessee. Until circumstances raised Polkâs ambitions, he was a leading contender for the Democratic nomination for Vice President in 1844. Both Martin Van Buren, who had been expected to the Democratic nomination for President, and Henry Clay, who was to be the Whig nominee, tried to take the expansionist issue out of the campaign by declaring themselves opposed to the annexation of Texas. Polk, however, publicly asserted that Texas should be âre-annexedâ and of Oregon âre-occupied.â In other words: the Democrats know if America falls into a recession, Biden will be kicked out of office in 2024. And now with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank threatening to topple the entire banking system and trigger a 2008-like crisis⦠[Biden will be forced to execute this Obama-era policy to save the economy and his Presidency.]( [Image]( [Itâs a âbreak glass in case of emergencyâ plan...]( One the Dems are loath to use as it will enrage their base. But itâs the only way for them to prevent Trump or DeSantis from taking control of the House, Senate, and Oval Office. And while I worry deeply about the future of America under another four years of Biden and his radical cabinet, there is a light at the end of the tunnel⦠A way for you and I to protect our families, and even profit from the disruption barreling down upon us. You see, the plan Biden will be forced to enact will, I believe, open the doors to a unique investment opportunity, perhaps the greatest Iâve ever seen. An opportunity that could potentially make you â and other early investors â a small fortune in the coming years. Iâll share all the details with you today in my new documentary. Clay, intending to keep party leadership in his own hands, minimized his nationalist views temporarily; Webster proclaimed himself âa Jeffersonian Democrat.â But after the election, both men tried to dominate âOld Tippecanoe.â Suddenly President Harrison was dead, and âTyler tooâ was in the White House. At first the Whigs were not too disturbed, although Tyler insisted upon assuming the full powers of a duly elected President. He even delivered an Inaugural Address, but it seemed full of good Whig doctrine. Whigs, optimistic that Tyler would accept their program, were disillusioned. Tyler was ready to compromise on the banking question, but Clay would not budge. He would not accept Tylerâs âexchequer system,â and Tyler vetoed Clayâs bill to establish a National with branches in several states. A similar bill was passed by Congress. But again, on statesâ rights grounds, Tyler vetoed it. In retaliation, the Whigs expelled Tyler from their party. the Cabinet resigned but Secretary of State Webster. A year later when Tyler vetoed a tariff bill, the first impeachment resolution against a President was introduced in the House of Representatives. A committee headed by Representative John Quincy Adams reported that the President had misused the veto power, but the resolution failed. Despite their differences, President Tyler and the Whig Congress enacted much positive legislation. The âLog-Cabinâ bill enabled a settler to claim 160 acres of land before it was offered publicly for, and later pay an acre for it. In 1842 Tyler did sign a tariff bill protecting northern manufacturers. The Webster-Ashburton treaty ended a Canadian boundary dispute; in 1845 Texas was annexed. To Mexican troops this was aggression, and they attacked Taylorâs forces. Congress declared war and, despite much Northern opposition, supported the military operations. American forces repeated victories and occupied Mexico City. Finally, in 1848, Mexico ceded Mexico and California in return for and American assumption of the damage. President Polk added a vast area to the United States, but its acquisition precipitated a bitter quarrel between the North and the South over expansion of slavery. Polk, leaving office with his health undermined from hard work, died in June 1849. Zachary Taylor, a general and national hero in the United States Army from the time of the Mexican-American War and the War of 1812, was elected the 12th U.S. President, serving from March 1849 until his death in July 1850. Northerners and Southerners disputed sharply whether the territories wrested from Mexico should be opened to slavery, and some Southerners even threatened secession. Standing firm, Zachary Taylor was prepared to hold the Union together by armed force rather than by compromise. Born in Virginia in 1784, he was taken as an infant to Kentucky and raised on a plantation. He was a career officer in the Army, but his talk was most often of cotton raising. His was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and he owned a plantation in Mississippi. But Taylor did not defend slavery or southern sectionalism; 40 years in the Army made him a strong nationalist. He spent a quarter of a century policing the frontiers against Indians. In the Mexican War he major victories at Monterrey and Buena Vista. President Polk, disturbed by General Taylorâs informal habits of command and perhaps his Whiggery as well, kept him in northern Mexico and sent an expedition under Gen. Winfield Scott to capture Mexico City. Taylor, incensed, thought that âthe battle of Buena Vista opened the road to the city of Mexico and the halls of Montezuma, that others might revel in them.â âOld Rough and Readyâsâ homespun ways were political assets. His long military record would appeal to northerners; his ownership of 100 slaves would lure southern votes. He had not committed himself on troublesome issues. The Whigs nominated him to run against the Democratic candidate, Lewis Cass, who favored letting the residents of territories decide for themselves whether they wanted slavery. In protest against Taylor the slaveholder and Cass the advocate of âsquatter sovereignty,â northerners who opposed extension of slavery into territories formed a Soil Party and nominated Martin Van Buren. In a close election, the Soilers pulled enough votes away from Cass to elect Taylor. Although Taylor had subscribed to Whig principles of legislative leadership, he was not inclined to be a puppet of Whig leaders in Congress. He acted at times as though he were above parties and politics. As disheveled as always, Taylor tried to run his administration in the same rule-of-thumb fashion with which he had fought Indians. Traditionally, people could decide whether they wanted slavery when they drew up state constitutions. Therefore, to end the dispute over slavery in areas, Taylor urged settlers in NMexico and California to draft constitutions and apply for statehood, bypassing the territorial stage. Southerners were furious, since neither state constitution was likely to permit slavery; Members of Congress were dismayed, since they felt the President was usurping their policy-making prerogatives. In addition, Taylorâs ignored several acute side issues: the northern dislike of the slave market operating in the District of Columbia; and the southern demands for a more stringent fugitive slave law. In February 1850 President Taylor had held a stormy conference with southern leaders who threatened secession. He told them that if necessary to enforce the laws, he personally would lead the Army. Persons âtaken in rebellion against the Union, he would hang ⦠with less reluctance than he had hanged deserters and spies in Mexico.â He wavered. [Image]( Porter Stansberry [The Classy Investors](
