On March 3, 1841, Martin Van Buren ended a four year term of "toilsome and anxious probation" in the presidential office, following bitter defeat in the log cabin, "Tippencanoe and Tyler Too," campaign of 1840. Although this loss must have shaken the "consistent faith in the people" that had bulwarked him for so long, the responsive crowds who greeted him everywhere as he wended his way home, must have acted as a restorative. Reaching Kinderhook, on May 8th, a Saturday afternoon, he experienced the most appreciated acclaim of all, from those people he loved best.
