William Henry Harrison

William Henry Harrison was the ninth President of the United States, serving a brief term in 1841. He is best remembered for delivering the longest inaugural address in history, which led to his death from pneumonia just 31 days into his presidency, making it the shortest in U.S. history. Before his presidency, Harrison was a military officer and a territorial governor, known for his role in the War of 1812 against Native American forces. He is often associated with the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too," highlighting his campaign legacy and his running mate, John Tyler.
