James Buchanan
After Franklin Pierce’s time in the office, James Buchanan took his place. A fellow democrat, historians believed he did not actually make a lot of improvements. It is therefore quite ironic to find out that he once claimed he wanted to achieve the same level of excellence George Washington did. On another note, he had ten brothers and sisters.

William Henry Harrison
William Henry Harrison is known as the US president with the shortest time in office. He only held on to the position for 31 days, from March 4, 1841 until April 4, 1841. He succumbed to pneumonia after a rainy inauguration day. The 9th President of the United States was the last head of state to have witnessed the American Revolution, and he actually earned his fame when he led the military to victory in battle in 1811. The Battle of Tippecanoe victory gave him the moniker “Old Tippecanoe.” He was also the first president to have been photographed, though the image has not been recovered. He is the son of Benjamin Harrison, and his own grandson of the same name became the 23rd POTUS.
