Nickname for a U.S. president who was on very "unstable" political turf, and thus he should be very careful not to "male waves" in Congress.
President John Tyler was a staunch supporter of slavery which any reasonable-minded citizen would oppose, so it's no wonder that he had a really Tippycanoe dude as a running-mate.

Both "Da Great W.H." and his grandson Ben were very unpopular as American presidents, so it appears dat da former's "Tippycanoe" status lived on in future generations!
