Answer: portray the aristocratic Harrison as a man of the people

Step-by-step explanation:

What does log cabin and hard cider mean?

The Whig party seized upon the mockery and used it to their advantage. They put the slogan “Log Cabin and Hard Cider” on a wide range of campaign paraphernalia to portray the aristocratic Harrison as a man of the people. The strategy worked and Harrison won the election, although the victory was short-lived.
