John Quincy Adams is reported to have kept an alligator.

John Quincy Adams was unpopular because he wanted Congress to pay for new roads, canals, and favored projects to promote the arts and sciences. Most Americans objected to these because they didn't want to pay the money for it.

Well, where to begin...one of the most obvious is the fact that Andrew Jackson spent all four years telling anybody who would listen that John Quincy Adams cheated in the presidential election. So at the end of four years, JQA was probably glad to get out, because his approval ratings were on par with Bush's.

In the 1824 election, the House of Representative was required to appoint the president because no man got a majority of the electoral vote and four men got votes. Henry Clay came in fourth and so was eliminated. However Clay was able

swing the votes of the states that had voted for him to Adams, making him he winner over Jackson. When Adams appointed Clay as his Secretary of State, Jackson people claimed that a corrupt bargain had been made. In those days, the position of Secretary of State was considered to be a stepping stone to the presidency and so was a prize plum. Clay was from Kentucky , a western state, and so it would have been natural for him to favor Jackson if he had not made a bargain to help himself.

It's very unlikely that the bill is real. The only Federal $20 bills with that date were Demand Notes and they are considered to be extremely rare. There are oceans of replica $20 Confederate bills on the market; some are very difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

If you don't see the word COPY or REPLICA worked into the design anywhere you should have the bill authenticated by a currency expert but be prepared to find out it isn't genuine.

They are kinda the same but said different. one sounds like someone that can't talk and the other does sound right.

They later developed into the Whig party which Adams joined and became influential in.
