Detailed explanation-1: -The Indians scattered, never again to offer serious resistance in what was then called the Northwest. Thereafter Harrison returned to civilian life; the Whigs, in need of a national hero, nominated him for President in 1840.
Detailed explanation-2: -The presidency of John Tyler began on April 4, 1841, when John Tyler became President of the United States upon the death of President William Henry Harrison, and ended on March 4, 1845. He had been Vice President of the United States for only 31 days when he assumed the presidency.
Detailed explanation-3: -Harrison defeated Van Buren in the 1840 presidential election, making him the first of only two Whigs to be elected to the presidency, the other being Zachary Taylor.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cleveland won a plurality of the popular vote, but Harrison won the election with a majority in the Electoral College, marking the only time in which an incumbent president of either party lost a re-election bid despite winning the popular vote as of 2023.
