William Henry Harrison was elected in 1840 by a campaign that featured rallies spiked with free whiskey. Harrison was untruthfully pictured as a pioneer, but he did live on the frontier and fought Indians.

The "log cabin and hard cider" campaign was launched by the Whig Party in the 1840 election, as one Democratic personality remarked that Whig candidate William Henry Harrison would be "just as happy with a jug of hard cider to sip in front of his log cabin as serving as President".
No --The myth came from the cabin and hard cider slogan which helped with the 1840 election. He came from what might be called Virginia nobility who had big houses and plantations.
The Whigs ran a brilliant campaign to put William Henry Harrison in the presidential seat in 1840. The symbols they used were "Log cabin and hard cider." Their famous rallying cry for the campaign was "Tippecanoe and Tyler too."
William Henry Harrison is the candidate in question. He was actually referred to as 'the long cabin and hard cider candidate.' The year was 1840 and he was running against Martin Van Buren.
During the election in 1840, the Democrats laughed at Harrison because they thought he was too old at the age of 67 to be running for president.

The "log cabin and hard cider" campaign of 1840 was the first real display of two party systems since the dissipating Federalist and Anti-Federalist parties left the political stage. This campaign showed new party divisions with the use of slogans, (such as the hard cider & log cabin) and candidates being portrayed as complete opposites. It was a really tough campaign designed to divide people and make them choose sides in the new democracy.
