What is the significance of William Henry Harrison?

William Henry Harrison (1773-1841) was the 9th President of the US, although he died after just a month in office. He had gained notoriety as a military leader in 1811 in the …Indian wars that preceded the War of 1812. William Henry Harrison was the first Whig to enter office, and the first President to die in office. Harrison's significance in presidential history does not lie in his brief term in office, but rather in the innovative campaign techniques designed by his party to secure him the office. Savvy advisers eyed the electorate and wholly altered their candidate's rÃ©sumÃ© and image to fit what the public wanted. Harrison's handlers made a common man out of Virginia aristocracy. Countless succeeding campaigns have taken this lesson and ridden it to victory. For example, it is doubtful that Abraham Lincoln ever actually split fence rails. Furthermore, Theodore Roosevelt, despite his cowboy image, enjoyed genteel Eastern wealth. Finally, the pork-rind-loving George Bush, as a boy, rode in chauffeured automobiles to elite private schools. Harrison did not create a Whig dynasty. After his death, his running mate, former Democrat John Tyler would alienate the Whigs and ally himself with his former party. Only Zachary Taylor would be elected by the Whigs, and Millard Fillmore would succeed him in office. Thereafter the party would be absorbed into the Republican Party in 1854. William Henry Harrison, of course, is a much more prominent player in the history of America than in the history of its presidency. He is remembered as the most dominant figure in the evolution of the Northwest territories into the Upper Midwest today. As both soldier and statesman, Harrison spent virtually his entire adult life championing this region. Whenever a President dies in office, there is considerable debate as to what he would and would not have done, given a full term. Because his time in office was so short and he believed that Congress should be the dominant policymaker, it is impossible to assess the probable course of a Harrison presidency. The death of Harrison prevented the congressional Whigs from consolidating power. Within a decade and a half, the party was in pieces, splintered into the existing Democrats and a new party, the Republicans. (MORE)

How did William Henry Harrison die?

Pneumonia. He gave his inaugural address in snow and freezing rainwithout proper clothing. He caught a severe cold that quicklydeveloped into fatal pneumonia, and because he f…ailed to recoverfrom the chills and fever that developed immediately after thespeech, he died. He died in 1841. He was only in office for onemonth at the time of his death on April 4, 1841. William Henry Harrison - February 9, 1773 - April 4, 1841, was the9th President of the United States, an American Military Officerand Politician, and the first president to die in office. On March 26, Harrison became ill with a cold. According to theprevailing medical misconception of that time, microorganisms beingthen unknown, it was believed that his illness was directly causedby the bad weather. However, it was more than three weeks after theinauguration before Harrison showed the first signs of ill healthand modern studies have shown that exposure to adverse weather doesnot cause respiratory illnesses. It is likely he was a victim ofthe common cold virus, exacerbated by the drastic pressures of hischanged circumstances. The cold worsened, rapidly turning to pneumonia and pleurisy. Hesought to rest in the White House, but could not find a quiet roombecause of the steady crowd of office seekers; in addition, hisextremely busy social schedule made any rest time scarce.Harrison's doctors tried cures, applying opium, caster oil, andVirginia snake weed. However, the treatments only made Harrisonworse, and he became delirious. He died nine days after becomingill, at 12:30 a.m. on April 4, 1841, of right lower lobe pneumonia,jaundice, and overwhelming septicemia; he became the first Americanpresident to die in office. Harrison served as the shortest term of any american president,March 4 - April 4, 1841, 31 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes. He diedof pneumonia. On March 26 he became ill with a cold. The cold got much worse andhe got pneumonia and pleurisy - "Give him a barrel of hard ciderand settle a pension of two thousand a year on him, and my word forit," a Democratic newspaper foolishly gibed, "he will sit ... bythe side of a 'sea coal' fire, and study moral philosophy. " TheWhigs, seizing on this political misstep, in 1840 presented theircandidate William Henry Harrison as a simple frontier Indianfighter, living in a log cabin and drinking cider, in sharpcontrast to an aristocratic champagne-sipping Van Buren. He died of pneumonia. (MORE)
