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.
