About this listen
In this episode of History You Didn’t Know But Should, Chris and Ray dive into one of the most colorful and modern-feeling elections in American history, the 1840 contest between President Martin Van Buren and the log cabin war hero William Henry Harrison. We unpack the over-the-top campaign strategies, the use of catchy slogans and mass political marketing, and why this election set the stage for future presidential image making. What made “Old Kinderhook” struggle while “Tippecanoe” triumphed? You’ll learn the backstory behind the hard cider barrels, parades, and the birth of political spectacle.
