President who had the nickname OK?

The phrase or word Okay or OK or O. K. is linked to President Martin Van Buren. He did not invent and there is still some question about how the word evolved .Originally spelled with periods, this term outlived most similar abbreviations owing to its use in President Martin Van Buren's 1840 campaign for reelection. Because he was born in Kinderhook, New York, Van Buren was nicknamed Old Kinderhook, and the abbreviation proved eminently suitable for political slogans. That same year, an editorial referring to the receipt of a pin with the slogan O.K. had this comment: "frightful letters … significant of the birth-place of Martin Van Buren, old Kinderhook, as also the rallying word of the Democracy of the late election, 'all correct' .... Those who wear them should bear in mind that it will require their most strenuous exertions … to make all things O.K."For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section indicated below.
