What was john Quincy Adams's proposal?
When Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836, Adams opposed annexation of Texas for he feared it would mean more slavery. When the House adopted a "gag rule" to keep members from petitioning about slavery, Adams fought it, believing that members of Congress should have the right to discuss issue. In 1839, he tried to introduce resolutions that said that no one could be born a slave after 1845 in the US. Because of gag rule, it was immediately sent to committee, never to emerge. In 1841, he was the chief attorney before the US Supreme Court on behalf of the blacks prisoners who were charged with mutiny and murder when they had taken over the slave ship, the Amistad. They had been illegally enslaved. His speech was eloquent. They were acquitted in 1842. Finally, in 1844, he managed to get the repeal of the gag rule. In 1846, he voted against going to war with Mexico because he thought President James K. Polk was acting illegally and trying to provoke a war with Mexico on behalf of the slave states. However, when it came to vote funds to pay for the war, he voted yes.

Even though Jackson got more electoral votes than Adams, there were 3rd and 4th candidates that also got votes, so Jackson did not have a majority.
