Why did Andrew Jackson defeat John Quincy Adams so dramatically in the 1828 election?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Andrew Jackson's victory over John Quincy Adams in the 1828 election can be attributed to a few key factors. Jackson presented himself as a champion of the common people, while Adams was seen as out of touch and elitist. Additionally, Jackson's use of grassroots campaigning and his focus on appealing to the rural and western voters helped secure his victory. Finally, Jackson's portrayal of Adams as corrupt and his ability to tap into the growing anti-establishment sentiment of the time also contributed to his dramatic win.

Why was John Quincy Adams a bad president?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

John Adams was chosen by the House because no candidate got a majority of the electoral vote. He finished second in both electoral and popular votes to Andrew Jackson. He appointed Henry Clay as his Secretary of State and it looked as if a deal had been struck since the states that Clay had won cast their votes in the House for Adams. Jackson supporters were furious and took steps to make sure that Jackson won the next election. One of their steps was to constantly attack Adams both in newspaper editorial and in pamphlets passed out on the streets.

Why did the house of representatives John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because those States supporting Adams and those supporting Henry Clay (who had now allied with Adams) formed a majority of Congressional State delegations. Had Clay allied with Andrew Jackson, their combined support would have been one state short of a majority, so that unless an additional state changed its vote, Inauguration Day 1825 would have arrived with no President chosen, and Vice President-elect John C Calhoun would have become President.

What did Andrew Jackson Believe in more than anything else?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Opinion

This question requires a look into Jackson's mind, which obviously is not available, but

he believed strongly in perpetuity of the Federal Union,which gave states no right to

secede regardless of their objection to federal laws.

He believed in God, as taught in the Judaic-Christian tradition, and became stronger in

these beliefs as interpreted by the Presbyterian Church as he grew older.

He believed in balancing the Federal budget and paying off the national debt.

He believed in a sense of honor which would not let him tolerate slurs against his wife's

character or let him refuse the challenge of a duel to the death.

Opinion

If you mean as president, he had a STRONG opposition to the Bank of the United States. He also STRONGLY believed in the power of the common man. A quote: "Let the people rule!"

Asked by Wiki User

Well, where to begin...one of the most obvious is the fact that Andrew Jackson spent all four years telling anybody who would listen that John Quincy Adams cheated in the presidential election. So at the end of four years, JQA was probably glad to get out, because his approval ratings were on par with Bush's.
