"Tippecanoe and Tyler, too" is a catchy political slogan from the 1840 United States presidential election. It refers to William Henry Harrison, nicknamed "Tippecanoe" after his victory in the Battle of Tippecanoe, and his running mate John Tyler.

 The phrase was used to highlight Harrison's military success and portray him as a strong leader. 

Beyond its historical context, "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" symbolizes the power of effective messaging in politics, encapsulating the spirit of a bygone era in American electoral history.

Feel free to send more history-related questions like this one! :D
