How were the differences between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson reflected in their approah to the presidency?

Answer 1

When John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson were candidates, with Andrew Jackson having 37.9 votes, Adams had 32. 3 votes, Crawford 15.7, and Clay, 14.2 votes. BUT The constitutions required a candidate having atleast half of the votes. So Jackson didn't win the presidency.

The HOR (House of Representatives) Henry Clay declared JQA the president, because Adam promised Clay to be Secretary of State, and return, in favor Henry Clay made Adams the winner.

Andrew Jackson thought Adams had STOLEN the election and he was in a bargain with Henry Clay.

Answer 2

John Adams was the father of John Quincy Adams. Also, John was the 2nd pres. and Quincy was the sixth.

John Adams was actually John Adams Jr. or John Adams the second, as his father was John Adams Sr. John Adams Sr. was not a president.

Answer 3

John Quincy Adams, like his father and Benjamin Franklin would like to see slavery abolished but was willing to compromise in order to unite the colonies into one nation. As Adams grew older, he and his friends became more abhorrent of slavery and began to actively seek ways to abolish it by federal law if states would not abolish it voluntarily.

Andrew Jackson, on the other hand, grew up in a slave-owning society and was happy to take advantage of slave labor to further his own goals in life. He believed that states had the right to allow slavery and fought any federal attempt to restrict it in the states that wanted it.
