content: Harrison, Benjamin
notes: label: Description
content: Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of William Henry Harrison, and his 1888 presidential campaign borrowed heavily from his grandfather’s, 48 years before. William Henry Harrison’s iconic campaign relied on the memory of his famous victory at the Battle of Tippecanoe, and the image of a rustic log cabin, that won him many supporters and revolutionized American political campaigns. Half a century later, Benjamin Harrison’s campaign borrowed the imagery and tried to tie it to his party’s signature issue: protecting American industries with high tariffs.
