What We Already Know
Disagreements between Alexander
Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson
led to the formation of political parties,
despite Washington’s
warning against them.

What We Already Know
After the War of 1812, the country settled
into a period of political unity known as the ‘Era of Good
Feelings.’
![Page 8: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What We Already Know
One of America’s heroes from the War of 1812 was Andrew Jackson, who scored a dramatic victory over the British at New
Orleans.
![Page 9: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Election of 1824• By 1824, there was only
one political party, but the country had developed into three distinct regions.
• These regional differences played a major role in the 1824 election.
• Four candidates from New England, the South and the West split the Democratic-Republican party.
![Page 10: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Secretary of State John Quincy Adams was New
England’s choice.
The South backed Secretary of the Treasury William
Crawford of Georgia.
Westerners supported Speaker of the House
Henry Clay, . . .
and Andrew Jackson, the hero of New
Orleans.
![Page 11: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Jackson won the most popular votes, but no one received a majority of electoral votes.
• As in 1800, the House of Representatives would have to choose the president from the top three vote getters.
The election of 1824 had an unusual outcome.
![Page 12: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Henry Clay affected the outcome of the vote in the House of Representatives.
• As Speaker of the House, he threw his support to Adams, who went on to be chosen by the House of Representatives.
• As president, Adams later named Clay to become his secretary of state.
![Page 13: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Adams’ appointment of Clay was very significant.
• Washington’s Secretary of State was Thomas Jefferson, who later became president.
• Jefferson’s Secretary of State was James Madison, who became the next president.
• Madison’s Secretary of State was James Monroe, who became the next president.
• Monroe’s Secretary of State was John Quincy Adams, who became the next president.

It appeared to many that Clay had supported Adams during the House
vote in exchange for his appointment as Secretary of State.
According to the historical trend, Clay’s appointment would set
him up to become president after Adams
left office.
![Page 15: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Jackson’s supporters reacted angrily to Clay’s appointment.
• They claimed that Adams and Clay made a “corrupt bargain” to make Adams president.
• In fact, such a bargain was unlikely because Adams was a very honest man.
![Page 16: Copy the following on the first 8-10 lines of NB p. 39.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568161e7550346895dd20fba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Jackson believed that he represented the ‘common people,’ while Adams represented only the wealthy elite.
He felt the election had been stolen from him, and that the will of the
people had been ignored.

The election of 1824 changed the Democratic-Republican Party.
The accusations of a ‘corrupt bargain’ caused the party to split between the supporters of Jackson and of Adams.

The election of 1828 was a bitter campaign filled
with vicious personal attacks.
Newspapers published articles that accused both sides of immoral
activities.

Jackson’s supporters made several accusations against President Adams.
• They claimed he had delivered an American girl to the Czar while serving as Minister to Russia.
• Adams was also accused of using public funds to buy gambling devices for the White House; it turned out that these were a chess set and a pool table.

The Adams campaign accused Rachel Jackson of bigamy.
• Rachel Jackson had an unhappy first marriage and the state legislature gave her husband permission to sue for divorce.
• Believing she was divorced, Rachel married Andrew Jackson in 1791.
• When the mistake became known to them, the Jacksons remarried in 1794, but the embarrassing and hurtful gossip persisted.

Many voters saw Jackson as the candidate of the common man.
• Jackson crusaded against control of the government by the wealthy.
• He promised to look out for the interests of common people.
• He also promoted the concept of majority rule.

The goal of Jacksonian democracy is to spread political power to all the people, to
guarantee majority rule.
These ideas became known as Jacksonian democracy.
