'''John Tyler''' was the 10th [[President of the United States of America]] and first to succeed a President without being elected.
When Harrison died of pneumonia, Tyler became the President. At the time it was disputed what the substitution of the President was meant to be and ex-President [[John Quincy Adams]] sent him letters signed to "The acting President." Tyler was expelled from the Whig Party and eventually supported [[James K. Polk]] in 1844.

Tyler was the only President to join the secession of the south and be elected to an office there. He died in 1862 before he could begin much active duty for the Confederacy.<ref>Encyclopedia of Presidents John Tyler by Dee Lillegard, Children's Press</ref><ref>Encyclopedia of Presidents James K.
