Obviously Clay did not think that Jackson should be president. He did not think that Jackson

had the kind of experience that a president needed and thought the Adams did. He also

wanted to be president himself someday soon and knew that Adams would appoint him

to the office of secretary of state, which at that time was the stepping stone to the

presidency.

What did president Monroe order Andrew Jackson to do in 1818?

In 1817-1818, President Monroe orders Jackson to chase raiding Seminole Indians back into Florida, but not to invade Florida. Instead, Jackson invaded Florida, captured military forts, executed two British subjects for stirring up Indian attacks, and replaced the Spanish governor. Many members of Monroe's cabinet believed that Jackson should have been court-martialed for his actions in Florida. With that said, the Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams, saved the day for Jackson and it was ruled that Jackson had acted in self defense in Florida.
