Gregg Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Super 70s Sports on X: "John Tyler, America’s 10th president, was born in 1790. He has a living grandson. Not great, not great-great. Regular grandson. Read that again as many times as you need to absorb it.

Tiberius Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 He was a horrible President. The Whigs thought they had finally overcome the built in constitutional advantage the slave states had by electing William Henry Harrison, and then he died right after taking office. Buffalo had a huge stake in the 1840 presidential election. The port of Buffalo was struggling to keep up with the massive amount of commerce coming into it from the Great Lakes region and wanted the federal governmenet to help by building a break wall to protect the city from the storms that walloped the city and to have small harbors around the lakes so steamboats and sailing vessels could take shelter during storms. Milliard Fillmore was chairmen of the house ways and means committee and was all set to push a bill through the house, the senate was all set to follow through and then Harrison up and died. Tyler, a Virginian, was not about to help the free states grow any faster and so internal improvements had to wait. Buffalo continued to grow, though 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
