the Tyler Rebellion

The Tyler Rebellion, also known as the Tyler Uprising, occurred in 1841 in the United States during President John Tyler's administration. It was a political conflict where dissatisfied members of the Whig Party, including many former supporters of Tyler, rebelled against his policies. Tyler, who had initially been elected as a Whig, often opposed party leadership, leading to frustration among party members. The rebellion highlighted tensions over issues like state rights and federal authority, ultimately underscoring the challenges faced by Tyler’s presidency and the deep divisions within American politics at that time.
