Doctor Dogballs posted:He sure was! William Henry Harrison was the 9th President of the united gay-ts. (To remember that just think WILLIAM H. has 9 letters. Or, W. HARRISON also has 9 letters!) He was the Old Tippecanoe guy. He was the first president to die in office and he gave the longest inauguration speech. whats the story with tippecanoe anyway it was something from 1812 right? |

He was the Old Tippecanoe guy. He was the first president to die in office and he gave the longest inauguration speech. Those two things are related! It was really cold on the day he delivered his speech, and he caught pneumonia and died. |

Tippecanoe was the decisive battle in the Black Hawk war. Basically it is the reason there are no Native Americans in Illinois or Indiana. |

Johnny Five-Jaces posted:do rutherford b "pee" hayes I don't remember almost anything about R.B.H. except that my history teacher a long time ago called him "Ruthie" for some reason, and that he was potus #19, directly after Grant (as I mentioned, can remember this because H (Hayes) is directly after G (Grant) ) and his election was one of those weird "bargain" or tiebreaker type situations and that his being elected ended the reconstruction era. However, I don't remember anything about his presidency itself ---------------- |
