    “The 1828 election stimulated party formation because instead of several sectional candidates, each dominant in his own region, competing for the presidency, it pitted two nationally known men against each other.” (251) As a result, people had to choose a side and then organize forces to defend their side. The formation happened faster in “neutral” states where neither Jackson nor Adams had a lot of supporters as. (this connects with #5)…

    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. Although he had many successes he viewed himself as a disappointment. He did have many accomplishments during his career, but he also had a few downfalls and failures during his career. John Quincy was not the most liked person in the country, but he stood up for what he thought and believed in.…

    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.…

    Jackson’s political rivals had every reason to want him dead, so much so that John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay decided to co-conspire and attempt to pluck the thorn from their side which was President Andrew Jackson. Henry Clay’s political ally and head of the 2nd National Bank, Nicholas Biddle, caught wind of the plan from Clay and was eager to join as he resented Jackson for shutting down the bank. The three planned out the murder, but none of them wanted to risk their careers by getting their hands dirty. They could have easily hired a gunman, but they needed someone they could trust so they recruited Chief John Ross, who was more than willing to put a few bullets in Jackson after being forced to march the trail of tears with his disappointed people. Then, on February 22nd, 1837, the plan was put into action as John Ross approached President Andrew Jackson from behind and when he was close enough, shot him five times through the chest.…

    “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.

Crawford, a secretary of treasury, he had some stiff opposition. Jackson and Adams each made strong and successful campaigns, earning them each an abundance of profusion electoral votes. The election resulted with 99 electoral votes for Jackson, 84 electoral votes for Adams and 78 electoral votes for the other candidates. With no majority, they were forced to decide the president through the House of Representatives. Henry Clay stated that he supported Adams before the House voted. 13 states in the House voted Adams, 7 voted Jackson, making John Quincy Adams the president in 1824. Jackson and his followers were enraged, charging both Clay and Adams with “Corrupt Bargain”. The charges were denied, but Jackson’s supporters, still angered, worked to embarrass Adams as much as they could during his precedency. Jackson was immediately nominated again for precedency in…

    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…
