Know Your Early Presidents

Only 1: John Adams

Don't get John Adams and John Quincy Adams confused. John was John Quincy's dad.

#2 John Adams: Federalist
#6 John Quincy Adams (we call him JQ): Democratic-Republican

Lincoln was the 1st Republican president and he was #16. There will be no Republican presidents in week #1 of the tournament.

William Henry Harrison was the 9th President. He died after only being President for 1 month. When he died, his Vice President, John Tyler, became the 10th President.

Before William Henry Harrison, every president served at least 1 full term.

It is so easy to get these two confused. Both were Whigs. Both served only partial terms.

#10 John Tyler - took over after William Henry Harrison died
#12 Zachary Taylor - died in office after just 1 year and 4 months

Millard Fillmore was Zachary Taylor's Vice President. When Taylor died, Fillmore became the 13th President.

Fillmore was the last Whig President. After 13, there were no more Whig Presidents.

#7 Andrew Jackson
#8 Martin Van Buren
#11 James Polk
#14: Franklin Pierce
#15 James Buchanan

Of these, only Jackson served 2 terms. Each of the others served 1 full term.

#9: William Henry Harrison
#10: John Tyler
#12: Zachary Taylor
#13: Millard Fillmore

All 4 were Whigs. Of the 1st 15 presidents only Whigs served partial terms -- and ALL four them did!

Of the first 15 Presidents, 5 were from the Democratic party. Only ONE, Andrew Jackson, served 2 full terms. The other 4 all served 1 full term.

#4: Madison
#5: Monroe
