Election of 1824 ANDREW JACKSON from TN (West) Electoral vote = 99 Popular vote = 153,000 JOHN QUINCY ADAMS from MA (North) Electoral vote = 84 Popular vote = 108,000 WILLIAM CRAWFORD from GA (South) Electoral vote = 41 Popular vote = 46,000 HENRY CLAY from KY (West) Electoral vote = 37 Popular vote = 47,000
Electoral Voting 1824 Electoral Vote % Clay 14% Jackson 38% Crawford 16% A. Jackson J.Q. Adams Adams 32% W. Crawford H. Clay
How do we arrive at a winner? Total Electoral Votes in U.S. in 1824= 261 A majority is needed to win = 131 electoral votes. None of he candidates had a majority, so the decision would be decided by the House of Representatives (from the top 3). Henry Clay (Speaker of the House) was out. He backed J.Q. Adams. House vote(24 states): Adams=13, Jackson=7 Crawford=4. How did Adams end up with more votes?? Clay became Sec. of State- Corrupt Bargain (Jackson supporters believe that Clay and Adams made a deal!!)
Corrupt Bargain ???? JQ Adams allegedly promised Clay the job of Sec. of State if he would get enough votes in the House to win the Presidency. (Clay was Speaker of the House. ) Henry Clay John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams Administration 1825 1829 (1 term) Why? 1.) Corrupt Bargain (w/H. Clay) 2.) Lack of popular support * Jackson had more popular and electoral votes. 3.) Lack of political skills * Stubborn / Arrogant * Didn t get along with Congress (even though he had many good ideas.)
Election of 1828 vs. John Quincy Adams - Electoral vote = 83/261 - Popular vote = 507,730 Andrew Jackson ( Old Hickory ) - Electoral vote = 178/261 - Popular vote = 647,292 Jackson wins in a landslide!!!

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES Jacksonian Democracy Jackson personified the desirable and undesirable qualities of Westerners. He stood for the right of the common people to have a greater voice in government. Distinct changes in laws, practices, and popular attitudes gave rise to Jacksonian Democracy and were in turn accelerated by the new equalitarian spirit. Jacksonian Revolution of 1828: Jackson won more than twice the electoral vote of John Quincy Adams. However the popular vote was much closer. Adams had strong support in New England while Jackson swept the South and Southwest. In the middle states and the Northwest, the popular vote was close.
JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES Age of the common man: All white males had access to the polls. Jackson was portrayed by the opposition as a common man, an illiterate backwoodsman, during the election of 1828. He was depicted as being uncorrupt, natural, and plain. His supporters described his simple and true morals and fierce and resolute will. Spoils system: Jackson defended the principle of "rotation in office," the removal of officeholders of the rival party on democratic grounds. He wanted to give as many individuals as possible a chance to work for the government and to prevent the development of an elite bureaucracy.
JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES National Republicans: They became the Whig party during Jackson s second term. John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay guided this party in the 1830s. They were the Jeffersonian Republicans, along with numerous former Federalists who believed that the national government should advocate economic development. Worcester v. Georgia, 1832: Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the Cherokees were not a state nor a foreign nation and therefore lacked standing to bring suit. Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 1831: Marshall ruled that the Cherokees were a "domestic dependent nation" entitled to federal protection from mistreatment by Georgia.
JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES Trail of Tears: A pro-removal chief signed the Treaty of New Echota in 1835 which ceded all Cherokee land to the United States for $5.6 million. Most Cherokees condemned the treaty. Between 1835 and 1838, 16,000 Cherokees migrated west to the Mississippi along the Trail of Tears. 2,000 to 4,000 Cherokees died.
JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES Bank War: Nicholas Biddle operated the Bank of the United States since 1823. Many opposed the Bank because it was big and powerful. Some disputed its constitutionality. Jackson tried to destroy the Bank by vetoing a bill to recharter the Bank. He removed the federal government s deposits from the Bank and put them into various state and local banks or "pet banks." Biddle tightened up on credit and called in loans, hoping for a retraction by Jackson, which never occurred. A financial recession resulted.
JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY NOTES Nullification Crisis: Calhoun introduced the idea in his SC Exposition and Protest. States that suffered from the tariff of 1828 had the right to nullify or override the law within their borders. Jackson proclaimed that nullification was unconstitutional and that the Constitution established "a single nation," not a league of states. A final resolution of the question of nullification was postponed until 1861, when South Carolina, accompanied by other southern states, seceded from the Union and started the Civil War. Clay Compromise: He devised the Compromise Tariff which provided for a gradual lowering of duties between 1833-1842. The Force Bill authorized the president to use arms to collect customs duties in South Carolina. Without the compromise, he believed that the Force Bill would produce a civil war.
