John Tyler Foreign Policy Essay
Lastly, John Tyler’s foreign policies ran very fluently, picking up on how vital the Asian Pacific region was to trade, he sent a strategic group of individuals over on a journey. This resulted in strong relations with the country. Another foreign affair involved putting a stop to a bloody war with the Seminoles, This ended lots of violence.
The reason that I eliminated these seven presidents, was because their interactions with other countries wasn’t extremely significant. Due to the fact that William Henry Harrison was only president for about 32 days, he didn’t have time to dive into any foreign policies or affairs. Another, Martin Van Buren, didn’t focus so much on foreign affairs, only enforcing the Indian Removal Act, which removed native americans, known as “The Trail of Tears”. James Polk’s communication with other countries revolved solely around America’s want for more land for settlement. Zachary Taylor was eliminated due to the fact that he didn’t have experience with foreign policies, so he did not get involved. Millard Fillmore focused more on the problems

Andrew Jackson provided domestic tranquility by “representing all the people” (Jackson).
Lastly, John Tyler helped keep the americans at peace, and calm when he immediately jumped in as president after the death of William Henry Harrison. He set the criterion for presidential succession in years to come.
I eliminated the upcoming presidents because of their lack as a leader to provide domestic tranquility, William Henry Harrison, because he served such a short time in office and his death resulted in fear for many americans. Next to eliminate is James Polk, due to a sudden death during his term. The rest are a result of no extreme efforts put forward to unify the

    Polk became one of the most aggressive and productive men to hold the U.S presidency. During his reign, a major event in his administration was the Mexican war that fit neatly with his expansionist policies. He was considered the last strong pre-Civil war president. Polk is widely noted for his successes in the foreign policy. Furthermore, he threatened Britain with war over an issue, in which the US owned the Oregon Country, after backing away over ownership of the Oregon region with Britain. Hence, during his tenure, the Oregon issue was solved between the US and Britain in which both states agreed to do partitioning of the Pacific Northwest at the 49th parallel. Eventually, the territory of the US extended to the Pacific Ocean.…

Both of these “weak” presidencies were unable to bring about any long withstanding or significant changes to the United States. President Ford and President Carter often are viewed in negative manner because of their inability to bring about any lasting, positive changes in either domestic or foreign policy during their presidencies.…

    I chose Henry Clay as the person who I think should have been president instead of these four other men. These other men were incompetent, they lacked leadership, and they each didn't have much support. None of them had much drive or motivation to be a good president, and as for a couple of them, they didn't have much political background at all. Henry Clay, on the other hand would have made a fantastic president instead of these four men. Even though he had already run for president three times, and lost, he still had the potential to be a great president. He had a vast background in politics. He had so much to do with what was going on that time in politics, it seem as if he never died (, from our pages of our history book that is). Henry Clay was a great man and I believe that he stood head-and-shoulders above the rest of the presidents of the 1850's. He was a great man who was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams and an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency in 1824, 1832, and 1844. He was one of the most popular and influential political leaders in American history. His genius in the art of compromise three times resolved bitter political conflicts that threatened to tear the nation apart, winning him the title "The Great Pacificator."…

    As the oldest president inaugurated during his time and the first to die in office just within 31 days, President William Henry Harrison is ranked with a 2. He delivered a two hour long inaugural address, the longest on record, but passed away from pneumonia because of his imperviousness. He was only elected because of his political popularity that derived from him being a "war hero", which at that point in American history generally meant killing Native Americans, a feat Harrison managed somehow at the battle of Moraviantown, during the War of 1812, which itself was one of the stupidest wars fought by two nations. That is why President William Henry Harrison if not is the worst president in U.S. history.…

    When it comes to isolationism in the United States, Theodore Roosevelt played a huge part. Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States. He served from 1901 to 1909. At first, he was only the vice president. But upon the assassination of President William McKinley, he was used as a replacement. Roosevelt’s mission during his presidency was to move Republicans into the progressive state of mind. He was the type of man who didn’t trust big business owners, and when he took them down they were called trust busters. But he did in fact believe in trust and capital, just not illegal practices.…

    The first five presidents faced many major issues and events during their presidency. As a result of their even being an idea of a presidency; and this word is new to the Americans, it had many setbacks for the first five presidents. The word presidency was new in the Americas so nobody exactly knew how it would work, or what should be done to build it up, this is also what caused problems for the first five presidents, because they had to build up the term president, and work most things out for themselves. The newly made Americans had just fought the revolutionary war and escaped a monarchy where they felt they weren’t free, they were afraid that their self-made government would get too strong and treat them the same way that the British…
