John Tyler was the tenth president of the United States, serving from 1841 to 1845. He became president after William Henry Harrison's death, setting a lasting precedent by immediately taking the presidential oath of office. Tyler was a stalwart supporter of states' rights, including regarding slavery, and adopted nationalistic policies as president only when they did not infringe on the states' powers. He faced significant opposition from the Whig Party, and most of his cabinet resigned shortly into his term. Tyler's presidency is generally ranked low by historians.
