Best Answer

Jacksonians often referred to the 1824 election as the "Stolen Election" because while Jackson swept the popular vote by a wide margin, he did not have enough electoral votes to automatically win the presidency. Therefore the election had to be decided by the House of Representatives.

Why is the election of 1824 called the stolen election?

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.

How did the election of 1824 tear the democratic-republican party apart?

The election of 1824 was a four-way race within the Democratic-Republican Party. Andrew Jackson won both the popular vote and electoral college, but no candidate secured a majority. John Quincy Adams ended up being elected by the House of Representatives, despite having less popular support. This caused supporters of Jackson to feel that the election had been stolen from him, leading to the fracture of the party and the eventual formation of the Democratic Party under Jackson's leadership.
