1840: Hard Cider and Log Cabins. The election of 1840 is widely regarded as the first modern campaign for the U. S. presidency. As in earlier elections, character defamation was a key campaign strategy, as was the veneration of a military hero. Most memorably of all, Whig campaigners formulated a catchy slogan. âTippecanoe and Tyler, tooâ remains one of the best-known political catchphrases in American history. Four years earlier, the Democratic Party, represented by Martin Van Buren, had upset the Whigs in an acrimonious election. During the months leading up to the 1840 election, the Whig party designed a campaign that pitted a heroic William Henry Harrison against the patrician Van Buren, whom they called âVan Ruin,â blaming him for the disastrous banking failures of 1837.
