Education
William attended the Presbyterian Hampden-Sydney College until 1790. Then he left the school and attended an academy in the Southampton County University of Pennsylvania.
Harrison continued lowering the price of land, as well as working to allow more people to own land. In 1800 he successfully split the Ohio territory into two; Indiana and Ohio.
"The only legitimate right to govern is an express grant of power from the governed. There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power"
A few months into his presidency, Harrison got a bad cold. It worsened as the weeks went by, and on April 4 he died, making him the first American president to die while in office.
