First - William Henry Harrison died in office so he was elected in a year ending with zero and was an early president.
Second - Figure out who was elected in 1820, which is James
Monroe so not 1821
Third - Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 so not 1861
Fourth - That leaves 1840 for his election which is when he won the election
Fifth - Add one year because US Presidents do not serve in the same year they are elected in. They are sworn in in January (March back then). And because Harrison only served 1 month, 1841 is the only year available.
Hope this helps
But still, that is a good point. Harrison is known for Tippecanoe ("Tippecanoe and Tyler too" was his campaign slogan; this is how I remember who served the rest of his term...); for that, and for dying. His term was so short, that there isn't much else to know about him other than the fact that he died, and how he campaigned (and how despicable he was, even if he hadn't the opportunity to demonstrate it as president).
And it is indeed a good memory trick to remember that, for whatever reason, all presidents from 1840 to 1960 included died in office: Harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt and Kennedy; it helps me for Harding; for some reason I have always some difficulties to remember if he replaced Coolidge or the other way. But I remember he died—and his "love" letters— and from then that he was the one elected in 1920, after Wilson, and therefore that Coolidge replaced him, not the other way.
Thanks again!
