    John Quincy Adams was a major influence in the history of the United States. John Quincy took part in more important events, and held more important positions than any person in United States history. Some of the important positions he held were he was American Ministers to four different European Countries (Hague, Prussia, Russia and England), a State Senator representing Massachusetts, peace negotiator to England, a member of the House of Representatives, Secretary of the State, and President of the United States. John Quincy followed in the footsteps of his father John Adams, when he became President of the United States, but both father and son failed to win their second term as President.

    John Adams was not a very popular president of his time. Being the president, and Chief Executive, Adams was allowed to choose his own cabinet. He replaced Washington 's cabinet which consisted of Edmund Randolph, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and William Bradford. Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts was appointed the secretary of state, Oliver Welcott of Connecticut became the secretary of treasury, James McHenry of Maryland became the secretary of war, and Charles Lee of Virginia was appointed the attorney general. It 's obvious that George Washington had a much better cabinet than Adams did. John Adam 's cabinet was not nearly as sharp or as intelligent as the one of Washington. Obviously, Mr. Adams did not do too good of a job on choosing his colleagues.…

    Here, only the top three candidates in the initial vote were available to vote for in the House, excluding Henry Clay from the process. Clay then used his position as Speaker of House to swing the votes to John Q. Adams’ side and got him elected as the sixth president of the United States. The aforementioned collusion between Clay and Adams was made evident when Adams named Clay Secretary of State. This brought a sense of corruptness to the country and in the election of 1828 Adams and Jackson opposed each other again and this time Adams went down easily. Although there at first was a sense of unity where the country was all “one party”, Lengel argues that the factions within this party were made very clear and the country turned out to be not nearly as unified as previously…

    Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and Daniel Webster dominated national politics from the end of the War of 1812 until their deaths in the early 1850s. Although none were ever President, they had a huge impact in Congress. Their impact outweighed the impact of any of the presidents of that era, with the exception of Andrew Jackson. There was one issue effecting the nation throughout their time in power — slavery. They were all successful in keeping peace in America by forging a series of compromises. The next generation's leaders were not so successful.…

    In the election of 1828, Democratic Republican Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, was up against his former opponent from the 1824 election National Republican John Quincy Adams. Jackson, who had won the popular vote in 1824, had narrowly lost the seat of the presidency by what historians have called a “corrupt bargain.” By not getting a majority of the electoral votes, the Constitution states that the House of Representatives decides the outcome. When the Speaker of the House Henry Clay threw his support to Adams, it was enough to get Adams elected over Jackson. Soon after, Adams appointed Clay Secretary of State after this election and Jackson and his supporters saw this as corrupt. This led to harsh feelings between the two and a bitter fight for the presidency in 1828. The upcoming campaign would be full of mudslinging by both political parties (McNamara).…

    “Old Hickory” was depicted as both a tyrant and a person of democratic ideals. Andrew Jackson had laid his mark on the history of the United States. Gaining reputation with his outstanding victory in the Battle of New Orleans, Jackson continued the flow of appealing to the people by running for the presidential role in 1824 and 1828.

    1928 American Election

    • 909 Words
    • 4 Pages

    AP American History October 21, 1997 The year of 1828 was a tumultuous year in American politics. It so happened that it was a presidential election year. The election of 1828 was different from any other presidential election up to that point. The election not only set a precedent, but was also one of the bitterest in American history. Out of all the elections up to that point, it had all the makings of a present-day campaign. The two modern aspects evident in the campaign were horrific mudslinging and the choice of presidential electors by a popular vote. The two men running for the office of president that year were the incumbent, John Adams, and the once-defeated Andrew Jackson. John Adams ran as a National Republican, later to be known as the Whigs. Adams had the support of the respectable Secretary of State, Henry Clay, but he did not have the support of his own Vice-President, John C. Calhoun. Calhoun was very powerful in the politics of that time period. He threw his support in favor Jackson because he could tell that Adams and the Republicans wanted Henry Clay to succeed Adams in the election of 1832. William H. Crawford, presidential hopeful in 1824, also gave his support to Jackson. However, the most important man to lend his backing to Jackson was Martin Van Buren, because he could tell that Jackson was going places. Jackson was running as a Democratic Republican. Because the Democrats are widely known to be the party of the common man, Jackson could use the theory of us against them. The Democrats also gained the support of the newly formed Workingman's Party. When Adams had beaten Jackson for president four years before, the Jacksonians protested that there was a corrupt bargain between Clay and Adams. This came about because once the vote went to the House of Representatives, Clay, a candidate, threw his support in favor of Adams. Once in office, Adams made Clay Secretary of State. Throughout Adams' administration and the campaign, the Jacksonians…

    Jackson revived the alleged "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Clay. The "corrupt bargain" was said to be a secret arrangement between Adams and Clay. The House of Representatives was required to appoint the president due to any of the men getting the majority of electoral votes. Clay swung the votes of states he won to Adams and became Secretary of State. During all of the mudslinging, Adams refused to get involved with the campaign tactics. He was so upset, he didn't write in his diary from August 1828 until after the election.…
