==Presidential Campaigns==

==Presidential Campaigns==

Harrison's first campaign was against [[Martin Van Buren]] in the [[United States presidential election, 1836|1836 Presidential election]]. Unfortunately, Harrison was one of four Whig candidates, which diluted the vote. Harrison won easily in 1840. Some credited his military victories, but the primary reason seems to have been the unpopularity of Martin Van Buren, who many blamed for the Panic of 1837.  Harrison's campaign slogan "Tippecanoe and [[Tyler]] too" is one of the most famous in American politcal history.  Harrison was also the first [[Whig]] to be elected President.

==Pneumonia==

Harrison delivered the longest [[inaugural address]] in U.S. history (over two hours) on a cold rainy day. During the election, the Democrats attempted to make an issue of Harrison's age (68), and in an attempt to show his fitness, he did not wear a coat, which may have contributed to his contracting pneumonia.
