Who did Andrew Jackson owe his election in 1828 to?

You could say he owed his election to the voters in the West and South , including PA, NY and VA. They were attracted by his status as a war hero and by his humble roots and his life on the frontier. His supporters had control of some newspapers that ran pro-Jackson editorials and articles for the four years that Adams was the president. His running mate, John C. Calhoun from SC helped him get votes in the South and Martin Van Buren deserves much credit for bringing New York into the Jackson column.


How did the presidential races of 1824 and 1828 affect party politics in the US?

In 1824 , the western frontier became a factor. In fact, Andrew Jackson, the son of immigrants from Western Tennessee, lead both the popular vote and the electoral vote, but did not get a majority, so the House of Representatives decided the election and after much political maneuvering, chose second place finisher, John Quincy Adams. Jackson and his supporters felt cheated by the situation and took steps to win in 1828. Jackson got himself appointed to the Senate in order to be in Washington and a stronger party was formed. Pro-Jackson newspapers appeared and produced constant editorials against Adams and in favor of Jackson. Jackson's party not only won big in 1828, but became a force that lasted until 1860 when slavery split it up.

Why did the house of representatives John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson?

Because those States supporting Adams and those supporting Henry Clay (who had now allied with Adams) formed a majority of Congressional State delegations. Had Clay allied with Andrew Jackson, their combined support would have been one state short of a majority, so that unless an additional state changed its vote, Inauguration Day 1825 would have arrived with no President chosen, and Vice President-elect John C Calhoun would have become President.
