What was John Quincy Adams party line?
I am not sure what you mean by "party line". When he was elected President in 1824, there were no organized national parties but more of a regional division of political thought. John Quincy Adams was elected by the House at a time when political power was shifting from the rich old guard and the founding fathers who fought the Revolution and drew up the Constitution to the people of more recent immigrant stock who were settling the Western frontier. He was badly defeated in four years by frontiersman Andrew Jackson, whose parents both came to this country with nothing. While he was President, he favored a strong federal government and a large increase in federal money for domestic improvement projects. After he left office, he helped organize the Whig party as a counter to Jackson's new national Democratic party.
