Tyler was previously an unsuccessful actress. Her marriage inserted her into the political life of the Tyler family. Balancing the national spotlight with new motherhood, Tyler was widely celebrated as a hostess and recognized as a highlight of what was otherwise a controversial presidency. She managed several receptions, dinners, and other events each week, sometimes bringing her to the point of exhaustion. Tyler left the White House as the president prepared for remarriage, and she settled in Philadelphia. Siding with the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War, Tyler and her husband moved to the Southern United States. Tyler lived in relative obscurity in Montgomery, Alabama, until her death in 1889. Provided by Wikipedia
