He probably felt that he was, but the election was honest and according the US Constitution. Despite his national fame as a war hero, he had had virtually no experience
at the national scene and knew little about how things were done in Washington.
He had little education, had never been outside the country and had not been a part
of any previous administration. All of the previous presidents had "paid their dues;,
by serving in important government positions.
Jackson learned from the experience and in the next two elections did what he needed to do to get elected.

∙ 14y agoNobody was cheated. Henry Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams (who had come second to Andrew Jackson in the Electoral College) because that was the only combination likely to produce a majority of State delegations for any one candidate. A furore arose later, when Adams appointed Clay as Secretary of State, triggering allegations of a "corrupt bargain" by which Adams had bought the Presidency by promising Clay a top job. There was no real evidence for this, but Jackson's supporters made all the mileage out of it that they could.

What did Andrew Jackson supporters call the presidential election of 1824?
Corrupt bargain is probably the phrase you are looking for. They felt they had been cheated out of a victory by the House of Representatives.

How did the presidential races of 1824 and 1828 affect party politics in the US?
In 1824 , the western frontier became a factor. In fact, Andrew Jackson, the son of immigrants from Western Tennessee, lead both the popular vote and the electoral vote, but did not get a majority, so the House of Representatives decided the election and after much political maneuvering, chose second place finisher, John Quincy Adams. Jackson and his supporters felt cheated by the situation and took steps to win in 1828. Jackson got himself appointed to the Senate in order to be in Washington and a stronger party was formed. Pro-Jackson newspapers appeared and produced constant editorials against Adams and in favor of Jackson. Jackson's party not only won big in 1828, but became a force that lasted until 1860 when slavery split it up.
