presidential election of 1840  

Definición

  • AT THE END of Martin Van Buren's tumultuous first term as president of the United States, the divergent Whig Party reemerged under a unified party platform to engage in one of the most memorable campaigning spectacles ever seen in American politics. This was due, in part, to increased suffrage rights for white male voters and newfangled party organization, as well as a multitude of colorful, politically-charged negative advertisements propagated by the competitors, especially from the campaign of Whig Party candidate William Henry Harrison.
