Davy Crockett was not re-elected to Congress in Tennessee primarily due to his opposition to President Andrew Jackson's policies, particularly regarding Indian removal. His stance against the Indian Removal Act alienated many constituents who supported Jackson's agenda. Additionally, Crockett's increasing popularity as a folk hero may have created a perception that he was more focused on his personal image than on local issues, contributing to his electoral defeat in 1835.
