John Tyler: Vice President
built 301 days ago
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.[1] [2]

Contrary to his opponents' later charges, Tyler made no effort to obtain the vice-presidential nomination as a consolation prize for the Senate seat denied to him. "I do declare, in the presence of my Heavenly Judge, that the nomination given to me was neither solicited nor expected."

Colorful gardens and lush woods were enjoyed by the 15 Tyler children (eight from his first marriage, seven from his second). Sherwood Forest is still owned and operated by direct descendants of President Tyler.
