Andrew Jackson, the only great military hero from the War of 1812, won the most popular and electoral votes, but his electoral vote fell short of the required majority. As specified in the Constitution, the choice was then made by the House of Representatives, which gave the nod to John Quincy Adams. Believing that they had been deprived of the presidency by a "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Speaker of the House Henry Clay, who was later named secretary of state, Jackson and his supporters almost immediately began organizing for the 1828 election.
