Great video. I love your quote, "History is History". That is so true. I looked up his grandson, Harrison Ruffin Tyler, who is still alive at the age of 95. So amazing
Thanks for sharing John Tyler's grave site. I had no idea I don't remember learning this in school. I'll have to look up the history of his living grandson.
I didn't know he joined the confederate cause, I heard about his grandson thanks for the great information I always learn something new watching your channel
@@Whittdocs John Tyler's grandson Robert Tyler Jones was a Confederate Color Bearer with the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia during Pickett's Charge in the Battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. As to the division of the Democratic-Republicans Party you mentioned there's a slight inaccuracy. There were three main political parties at the Constitutional Convention the Whig Party, Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republicans Party my ancestors were amongst the Founding Fathers of the United States and were also founding members of the Democratic-Republicans Party. The fracture to the party began at the Constitutional Convention whereas the Democratic wing refused to adopt the Constitution if it abolished the institution of slavery and the Republican wing refused to adopt the Constitution if it perpetuated slavery. The Federalist Party had there own secret agenda at the time to eventually overthrow the new Constitutional Republic and establish a Monarchy and Nobility House of Lords under the control of the Federalists and attempted to establish Aaron Burr as their King. The Whigs wanting to adopt the Constitution, played Solomon and split the proverbial baby. Stating that under the Bill of Rights whereas those powers not delegated to the Federate are reserved for the people and their respective, sovereign, and independent states let them decide whether to continue or abolish the institution at their discretion; thusly should there be a quorum of a Two Thirds Majority of the states delegating powers of abolishing slavery to the Federate no such measure of infringement upon the state's right to slavery by enacting such laws shall be passed. Reluctantly Democratic-Republicans agreed to the position but this just kicked the can down the road rearing its head again in the election of 1828 between the incumbent president John Quincy Adams who in his bid for a second term made his platform one to abolish slavery garnering support of the Republican wing and the challenger Andrew Jackson vowed to protect slavery garnering Democratic wing support and the vile political insults and mudslinging led to unreconcielable differences between the two wings splitting the party in two creating the Three Rail Party System of the 1st Rail Majority 2nd Rail Minority and Third Rail Lesser Parties we see today. From 1828-1854 control flip-flopped between Whig and Democrats the Federalist having disbanded over the attempted coup whereas it assimilated into the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and other Third-Rail Parties of the Free Soilers Party, Liberty Party, and the Constitutional Union Party assimilated under the Republican Party banner in 1854. My ancestoral grandfather was twice a candidate for the US Presidency on the Liberty Party Ticket before they assimilated into the Republican Party. Abraham Lincoln had been a member of the Whig Party prior to joining the Republican Party.
It’s amazing to think that a man born in 1790 has a grandson still alive in 2022. I doubt there is anyone else alive who can say his grandfather was born in the 1700’s.
Wow! I did not know he joined the confederacy! Never heard him being called a tailor either. Thats the only part of history I liked, learning about our Presidents. Thanks for sharing, I learned something today! God Bless
I visited the cemetery yesterday 8-18-2023 with my wife yesterday this place holds so much history get a map at the office when you enter very informative
Once again you have taught me things I did not know. I think my education has been greatly underwhelming and I know I had more history classes than the kids do today (I am in my 70's) but I had never heard about him being connected with the Confederacy. I did know he was VP before becoming President. Interesting video, thank you!
Wow I'm a history buff my self and never knew that John Tyler was considered a traitor need to read up more on our former presidents. Thanks for the interesting info.
The issue of slavery was settled. The very separate and independent issue of secession, however? Not even close. Some say it was -- but you cannot destroy an idea. Secessionism is alive and well (and often called for), on planet Earth -- and it's certainly not 'dead' in the USA just yet, either. In fact...come to think of it...which empire has ever NOT broken up, eventually?
I totally agree that history is history and we cannot change it, though a lot of folks seem to want to. I was Hollywood two years and could have spent days wandering around and not seeing all of it.
I never knew that he was going to be part of the confederate government. I do have to admit that the "You Accidentcy" line made me chuckle. Thanks again for another great video
I did not know any of this about John Tyler....Now that I am older I enjoy history much more...enjoy seeing this beautiful place and learning some of his background....
Followed the link from Faces of the Forgotten,first time I've ever seen or heard of John Tyler. I'm from New Zealand,so probably why. Very informative.
Thanks so much for the info on John Tyler. I love history and did not know this story. I personally don't consider him a traitor, just a man of the times. Keep up the good Whittdocs job. Your friend Jeff Judd
Great job! Yes very historic beautiful cemetary! I have read about this Cemetary, President James Monroe is also there. I love content on our Presidents, it's our history, also thanks for the little history lesson did not know that. THANKS BOB
Well, Whittdoc, ALOT of people try and change History!!!! Look at ALL OF THE STATUES IDIOTS TRY AND TEAR DOWN!!!! Like that's gonna change History!!!! I must admit, I don't know much about John Tyler, h does sound like a character though. Thank-You for your video. It sure is a PRETTY CEMETERY!!!!
I’m gonna try to plan a trip to Richmond, Virginia in the upcoming months so I can go to Hollywood Cemetery & see James Monroe, John Tyler, & Jefferson Davis’s graves
History changes with every passing generation. History is more about the present moment and the current interpretation of the past than the actual past.
Thank you for another great video like you said its history we can learn from it i had family that served on both sides i dont hold grouges the served for qhat they believe d in thank you again
Hi ! I learned alot of history today . Don't remember learning about him . Considering the last president you just had before Biden I would not say he was the worst one . LoL! He didn't start any riots anyways! Beautiful cemetery ! Thanks again for all your great vlogs! Stay warm! Deborah Manitoba Canada
Great video! Tyler sure is a touchy subject for some people. I’d rank him in the lower tier of presidents. He’s not the worst though. Hollywood cemetery is a big one. I think the likes of Jefferson Davis ( confederate “president” is buried there also!
Wow 😳 buddy I had no idea about him as long as I been around I never heard anything about it in school ...is he buried inside of a building the president? Me and Arnold have been watching videos and TV it came a nine inch snowfall here yesterday and last night.. take care of yourself buddy 👍 safe travels god bless you buddy
@@Whittdocs oh ok I didn't know I wasn't for sure a lot of them like that have a underground type of crypt I have saw don't know that he is but some are I've saw.
I have a decent knowledge of U.S. history( I am Canadian) but for me it was John who? Glad that you introduced us to someone that flew well below the radar! Thanks.
I think that John Tyler usually gets a lot of flack because people just don’t know much about him. He did so some questionable things during his presidency but also solved a lot of the issues that both Jackson and Martin Van Burren created/left
This was really well done. And I commend you. His is a complex presidency and I think for you to have boiled down the essentials, it was well done. Something to note: I'm not sure if you've made your way to Sherwood. In Sherwood, there's a plot that was suppose to be his final resting place. Its even marked as such. When he died in Richmond in January, there was a fear regarding the safety of his remains and also Jefferson Davis wanted to make a spectacle of it, and it was those factors that led him to be buried in Hollywood and not at the original designated plot in Sherwood. Regarding your questions at the end. I've met the grandson Harrison. Also, Tyler's diplomacy is getting a 2nd look and I think when you look at it that way, he was an effective president. He opened China to trade and that's something that's still felt today.
I didn’t see if any comments mention this but John Tyler was actually buried with the Confederate flag on his casket instead of the American flag. Just an interesting fact I wanted to share.
Tyler was the best president. He didn't "veto things the Whigs wanted" -- he vetoed lots of UNCONSTITUTIONAL legislation, adhering to his oath of office more than any other Prez.
I had an employee who at the time was in his 60s back in the 1990s. He told me he dad was friends with John Tyler, I did some math in my head and had to ask how? He told me his father was 84 when he was born and then told me his grandfather was 83 when his dad was born. 3 generations covered 229 years of history. That means his grandfather was born around 1761! America wasn't even a country yet.
@@Whittdocs Strangely enough my visit to Hollywood cemetery is what brought up the conversation with my employee. My shop was in Richmond and I used to go to the cemetery often. My school field trip in the 1970s introduced me to Hollywood cemetery.
I've been enjoying these videos of US President's gravesites. You might check out the grave of James Garfield at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, OH. It's really something!
Yes . I sure did . It was a different time. Most Americans were Virginians first and Americans secand. And he was just standing by his home . He did get s full Confederate funeral though .
I did not know he joined the Confederacy, but to me it wouldn't have made a difference. I don't believe we should have been fighting against each other. History is just the past, and we learn from the past.
You stole my thunder on the living grandson trivia. The vast majority of people don't know that. I didn't even know it until about 5 or 6 years ago when it first made waves in the press and I (according to my old friends) hold the title of MUI. Similar to a Masters Degree, an MUI is a Master of Useless Information. Those of us that hold the title also take ourselves way too seriously sometimes and have delusions of grandeur.
He may be a traitor but was a mediocre president. Sure he can be too full of himself when he refused to compromise with Congress and push for Texas annexation, he still wasn’t as horrible as James Buchanan was.
No, he was not a traitor. Sure, he believed in the confederacy. But he was born in the south, he was born in Virginia which was a confederate state. Not a traitor, but if he was a northerner and believed in the confederacy, then he would be a traitor.
Well, I do both styles. Sometimes I do a walk, and sometimes I do documentaries. Some people prefer this kind and some people prefer the other kind. So, I mix it up some. Thanks for watching.
If you judge the greatness of a president by their fidelity to their oath of office to defend the Constitution, then Tyler was one of greatest presidents.
Was this President a traitor? Well...could you not also make the point that the Founding Fathers were traitors as well, to the British empire? It's all a matter of context.
Tyler was too selfish about the Constitution and he pretty much offended both parties, meaning he had a terrible relationship with Congress and both parties. His vetoes and his refusal to compromise did more to hurt him. His fellow Whig Henry Clay formed a rivalry with Tyler, leaving him weak. He can’t be regarded as a hero either because he was technically the only president to commit an act of treason against America when he sided the Confederacy. Tyler was also a flaming racist
Sorry, secession isn't treason, if we're then Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and the other Founders were traitors for seceding from Britain. And to my knowledge he was no more racist than the average American of his day. And his defense of the Constitution held off the big government consolidationists for another 20 years.
Sorry I don't like that video I'm new to the channel I wrote you the other day Kevin leach is the name that one just kinda sucked but the rest are great love"em very much like I said you're in my top 3 how can I make a pledge to your site let me know I really enjoy thanks Kevin leach is the name

people also forget that Mary Todd Lincoln's family were Confederate supporters
You’re right, they do. Bet that made for some interesting family scenarios.

Looks like his grandson died a year ago. How amazing someone was living that long to ties from that time!
And he still has one remaining grandson left, as I understand.
@@noahhyde8769 Not for much longer. He's currently 93.
I didn't know he was in the confederacy
I didn’t either.
No he was not a traitor He did nothing different than our founding Fathers did with Great Britain Form their own country.
You can go ahead and say most unpopular he's usually rated either the worst second-worst or third worst president of all time
Just like Trump will be remembered as a traitor
He may be a traitor but was a mediocre president. Sure he can be too full of himself when he refused to compromise with Congress and push for Texas annexation, he still wasn’t as horrible as James Buchanan was.
No, he was not a traitor.
Sure, he believed in the confederacy.
But he was born in the south, he was born in Virginia which was a confederate state.
Not a traitor, but if he was a northerner and believed in the confederacy, then he would be a traitor.
