Explanation:

1- Wiliam Henry Harrison was the ninth President of the United States. He was taken into office March 4, 1841, but died a month later, on April 4, 1841. He is thus the President whose term has been the shortest. He died of pneumonia, which he incurred during the two-hour speech he held during the presidential inauguration.

2- Sam Houston was an American statesman, politician, and military. He was born in Timber Ridge, Virginia. During his life, he served as First and Third President of the Republic of Texas, Tennessee Representative in the United States House of Representatives, and Texas Representative in the United States Senate. In addition, Houston served as governor of Tennessee for less than two years.

3- Abraham Lincoln was an American politician and president of the United States from 1861 to 1865. Prior to his political career, he served as a ferry operator, general store salesman and post office manager. Unlike previous presidents, he was a congressman for just one term. Even in the army he served only a short time as a volunteer and was a mere soldier of military rank.

As President, Lincoln wanted to end slavery in the United States. Shortly after the inauguration, the Confederacy, which was in favor of slavery, resigned from the Union and the United States plunged into civil war. Lincoln succeeded in winning the Civil War and unifying the country. He was a major influence on the future status of the black population and is widely regarded as one of the country's best presidents.

4- James Knox Polk was the eleventh President of the United States. He was president from March 4, 1845, to March 4, 1849. President Polk is particularly remembered for the great expansion that occurred during his presidency - Texas, Iowa, and Wisconsin became part of the United States during this period. Parts of the Oregon Territory on the West Coast were also incorporated.

5- Winfield Scott was an American general. He served as a general in the United States Army from 1814 to 1861.

Scott joined the Army as Captain in 1808 and participated in the war against the British in 1812 as Lieutenant Colonel. After being taken prisoner, and later released by prison exchange, he arrived in the spring of 1814 to be promoted to colonel.

Scott was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Army in 1841 and remained in office for 20 years. During the war against Mexico, he led an amphibious operation and entered the port of Veracruz in 1847.

6- Robert Field Stockton was an American Democratic politician and commodore in the United States Navy. He played a key role in the US conquest of California in the Mexican-American War.

In the war against Mexico, he captured the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego. His battleship was the USS Congress. He was the highest ranking US military in California from 1846 to 1847, thus acting as military governor during that time.

7- William Barret Travis, born August 9, 1809 in Saluda County, South Carolina, died March 6, 1836 in Fort Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, was an American attorney operating in Mexico. He led the self-proclaimed Republic of Texas forces during the Battle of the Alamo in which he fell.

8- John Tyler was the tenth president of the United States from 1841 to 1845. He was the first vice president to become president after the death of his predecessor.

9- Webster was one of the Whig Party's best speakers and one of the party's foremost personalities. He was a prominent Massachusetts senator and twice US Secretary of State.

He was then one of three Whig Party presidential candidates in the 1836 presidential election.
