It was believed that Adams and Henry Clay had entered into a "Corrupt Bargain" to win Adams the presidency.
He gave his opinion on who he thought the president should be. And the others liked his opinion.
No, not really. In the Presidential election of 1824, Henry Clay won the electoral votes of only three states: Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri. Kentucky, usually regarded as a southern state, was his home. Both Ohio and Missouri are now considered midwestern states, but the term did not come into use until the 1880s. If it had been in use in 1824, Ohio would probably have been considered midwestern, since there were already three states to the west of it. However, Missouri at that time was the furthest west state in the country and had been granted statehood only a few years earlier (as a result of the Compromise of 1820, in which Clay played a large part). In 1824, St. Louis and other towns along the Mississippi River, which forms the eastern border of Missouri, were outposts of civilization; beyond them to the west was largely frontier.

Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford and Henry Clay
The disputed election of 1824 was resolved with the intervention of Henry Clay, who was then Speaker of the House of Representatives. After none of the candidates secured a majority in the Electoral College, the election was decided by the House, where Clay threw his support behind John Quincy Adams. This alliance ultimately led to Adams winning the presidency, which was later criticized as a "corrupt bargain" since Clay was appointed Secretary of State in Adams' administration.
Charges of a corrupt bargain between Adams and Clay
John Quincy Adams' victory in 1824 was aided by a man named Henry Clay. In return, Adams appointed Clay as Secretary of State.
The United States election of 1824 deals with the issue of "corrupt bargain". The race was between Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Henry Clay. Quincy Adams bribed Clay with a cabinet position if Clay alters the electoral votes, which led to Jackson's fall.
