Presidents & Their Elections 17961840
Everyone knows the names of several of our nation’s first presidents. However, a significantly lesser amount of those people could tell you what their political party affiliations were and their main political concept or idea that they promoted. John Adams, James Monroe,
Martin Van Buren, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, James
Madison, and Andrew Jackson were all elected to be President of the United States of America between 1796 and 1840. Those men all were a bit different in their political views and the main issues that they stood for.
The first of all these men to be elected president was John Adams in 1796. He served as president from March 4, 1797 to March 4, 1801. He was affiliated with the Federalist Party.
The main issue President Adams stressed was civic virtue and to set an example for Republican virtues. He wanted to set a solid example as to what the president should stand for and be expected to do. Adams was never involved in any type of scandal during his presidency, which upheld this civic virtue for him personally. (1) I believe I would have voted for John Adams if I had a choice. From what I have read about him, I understand that he was known to be an arrogant, stubborn, and an opinionated man. Personally, those are strong traits if you ask me. It means that he was confident in himself and his capabilities, he could not be easily persuaded into a decision he didn’t truly want to make, and he had a strong sense of morals instilled in him.
The man who was the successor of John Adams was Thomas Jefferson, who was elected to be the next president in 1800. He served as president from March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1809
