John Adams was chosen by the House because no candidate got a majority of the electoral vote. He finished second in both electoral and popular votes to Andrew Jackson. He appointed Henry Clay as his Secretary of State and it looked as if a deal had been struck since the states that Clay had won cast their votes in the House for Adams. Jackson supporters were furious and took steps to make sure that Jackson won the next election. One of their steps was to constantly attack Adams both in newspaper editorial and in pamphlets passed out on the streets.
