Charges of a corrupt bargain between Adams and Clay
In the election of 1824, Andrew Jackson ran for President of the United States and won the popular vote, but he did not have enough Electoral College votes to win the Presidency. The contest had to be decided in the House of Representatives. When Henry Clay, sided with John Quincy Adams (the son of John Adams), Adams prevailed in the House vote and became President. Since Jackson had won the popular vote but lost the presidential election, his supporters called the election of 1824 the 'Stolen Election.' In the election of 1828, Jackson defeated John Quincy Adams and assumed the Presidency.
