Election of 1840 Van Buren (Dem) vs. Harrison (Whigs) Whigs steal Jackson’s political strategy: Run an old war hero as a “man of the people” = William Henry Harrison, Gov. of Indiana and “Hero” of Tippecanoe IRONY= Harrison was the aristocrat, Van Buren had grown up in poverty. Harrison wins, then dies after 4 weeks in office.
