Andrew Jackson


Andrew Jackson received approximately 41% of the popular vote in the election of 1824, more than any other candidate.

(The United States House of Representatives would decide the presidency that year as none of the four candidates received enough electoral votes to be elected and they elected John Quincy Adams.)
