John
Tyler was born on March
29, 1970. His beloved father, John Tyler, and his nice
mother, Mary Marot Armistead Tyler, were proud parents. He was born on a
plantation called Greenway. He had blue eyes and light brown hair. He was also
tall and thin. As he was growing up, he went to local Virginia schools.
His father made money by being a judge. Later, he went to the College of William and
Mary. At the age of 17, he graduated college. Then he got married to Letita
Christian. His religion was Episcopalian. Later on, the War of 1812 started.
After that, in 1813, he became the captain of the Militia Charge of Charles
City Rifles. Then everyone argued about having slavery and not having slavery. Tyler led a
conference and tried very hard to make it succeed but it did not. Then
something treacherous happened; the Civil War had begun. Next year, Tyler died
from the illness due to bronchitis.
Tyler was
famous for some things. Something he was famous for was that he was raised believing
that the constitution must be strictly construed. In 1811, he was elected to
the Virginia House of Delegates. Then five years later, he was elected to the
House of Representatives. After that, in 1840, John was vice president and
William Henry Harrison was president. One month later, Mr. Harrison died and Tyler became
president. Although he was president, he had trouble with congress and cabinet.
While John was serving his four years as president, he got married. He was the
first person to do that.
John had some impacts on people. When
the war of 1812 was going on, he helped support it. When the argument of
slavery was going on, he led a conference. His life was also admirable. He was
the first president to be born after the end of Revolutionary War. He was the
first person to be elevated to be president. What a tremendous life!
