The eighth president of the United States was Martin Van Buren. He was Andrew Jackson's Vice President and went on to serve only one term as president. (Though he tried twice for re-election unsuccessfully.) Many most historians assert that Van Buren only won his election because he had such strong support from Jackson, who had hand-picked Van Buren as his successor in order to continue Jacksonian politics.

He is often remembered for his very long, curly sideburns as much as for his politics, especially because his politics were generally just a continuation of Jackson's. He is not considered charismatic or dynamic

When in office he imposed the Trail of Tears that Jackson had created, forcing the Cherokee Nation out of their homes in the south, killing thousands along the way.

He also refused to help the Mormons as they were forces west to Utah, because it might lose him the voters' respect in Missouri.

His successor to the White House was John Henry Harrison, who lived only one month of his presidential term.
