Who is Martin Van Buren?
During the 1820s and 1830s, there was a fad in newspapers to abbreviate words even though there was no lack of space. One example is that of a young woman who wrote in an article “O. K. K. B. W. P.” which reportedly translated to “one kind kiss before we part.” Another fad in the papers was to deliberately misspell words. For example, “no use” became “know yuse”, “all right” became “oll write”, and “all correct” was spelled with an “o” and a “k” (Oll Korrect). The latter two were also often abbreviated. This fad would have died out naturally if not for the election of 1840, when Martin Van Buren was given the nickname of "Old Kinderhook" because of his hometown of Kinderhook, NY. His supporters organized “OK Clubs” and created the slogan idea that OK clubs are “OK” and it tickled enough people that the word stuck through the centuries. Some people say that President Andrew Jackson adopted the Choctaw word “okeh” and then made it popular. President Woodrow Wilson believed this and when asked why he signed all his papers with the word spelled o k e h and not o k, he said, “because it is wrong”.

Who are John Adams and Thomas Jefferson?
On July 4, 1826, at the age of 90, Adams lay on his deathbed while the country celebrated the 50th anniversary of Independence Day. Jefferson had been Adam’s VP while he had been President but fiercely disagreed with Adam’s policies. They ran against each other in the next election to which Jefferson won and Adam, the former president, did not even attend the inauguration. Later in life, they both told others their desire to renew their friendship and started writing letters back and forth for 14 years. They were two of the three remaining signers of the Declaration. John Adam’s last words were, "Thomas Jefferson still survives." But he was mistaken: Jefferson had died five hours earlier at Monticello at the age of 83.
