约翰泰勒是第十任的美国总统，被敌手称之为「意外」的总统，因为他是第一位未经选举洗礼就继任的美国总统，承接担任总统职务仅一个月就去世的哈里森总统遗缺。
泰勒还有其他值得一提的「第一」：他的太太是唯一一位第一夫人、在总统还在位时就去世的第一夫人，也是首位于任期中结婚的总统。
泰勒是来自维吉尼亚州、最后一位出身贵族的美国总统，他至死都是一个南方人、甚至在未能成功避免联邦瓦解、引发内战后，还被选为南部联盟的代表，他也是唯一在总统任期内与南方联盟合作的总统。
John Tyler, 10th president of the United States, was called "His Accidency" by his foes because he was the first president to get the job without being elected to it. He took the helm when President Harrison died after only one month in office.
Tyler had other "firsts" as president: His first wife was the first wife to die while her husband was still president, and he was the first president to marry while in office.
Tyler was the last of the Virginia aristocrats in the White House. He was a Southerner until his death, even being elected to the Confederate Congress after unsuccessfully trying to keep the Union from dissolving and entering the Civil War. He was the only president who also allied himself with the Confederacy.
