During the campaign of 1828 what did John Adams say about Andrew Jacksons wife?

Andrew Jackson may have been our seventh president, but he was
first in many ways. He was the first populist president who did not
come from the aristocracy, he was the first to have his
vice-president resign and he was the first to marry a divorcee.
This was something John Adam spoke about during his canditade
running.

What was so special about Andrew Jackson?

Andrew Jackson was one of the most Loved and Hated men of his
time. As well as being the second president of the United States,
Jackson was a man of the people who understood commoners needs and
problems.
However, Jackson made very unpopular decisions while in office
that led him to become one of the most hated men in the country, by
the time his presidency ended. Some unpopular decisions included,
taxing alcohol and forcing Native Americans off there land and onto
reservations (the journey taken by those Native Americans would
come to be known as the trail of tears).

Where did Andrew Jackson's family come from?

Andrew Jackson was born to Presbyterian Scots-Irish immigrants
Andrew and Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson, on March 15, 1767,
approximately two years after they had emigrated from
Carrickfergus, Ireland.[2][3] Three weeks after his father's death,
Andrew was born in the Waxhaws area near the border between North
and South Carolina. He was the youngest of the Jacksons' three
sons. His exact birth site was the subject of conflicting lore in
the area. Jackson claimed to have been born in a cabin just inside
South Carolina.

Asked in US Presidents
Can the president and vice president come from a different state?

Yes, they always do, in fact, since the parties want to balance
the ticket. Also, each elector can not vote for both president and
vice-president from their own state. If the candidates for
president and vice-president were both from the same state, they
could not both get votes from their own state, so if the election
were close it could result in a vice-president from the other party
being elected.
