Overview

Tippecanoe Songs of the Log Cabin Boys and Girls of 1840 is a collection of songs from the pivotal 1840 United States presidential election. These songs offer a glimpse into the political fervor and popular culture of the time, reflecting the strategies used to promote William Henry Harrison, the Whig candidate, to the American public. The “Log Cabin” campaign was notable for its focus on Harrison's purported humble origins, using imagery of log cabins and cider to connect with the common voter. These songs represent an early example of American political marketing and its use of folk music and popular sentiment. They showcase the rhetoric and themes prevalent during the campaign, revealing insights into the social and political landscape of the Jacksonian Era.
