Adams's anti-western land and Indian policies
Those who accused John Quincy Adams of a corrupt bargain alleged that he made a deal with Henry Clay to secure the presidency in the 1824 election. It was believed that Clay, as Speaker of the House, used his influence to help Adams win the presidency in exchange for a position in Adams' cabinet.
"corrupt bargain" that Adams would be given the presidency in return for making Clay secretary.

After the House was assigned to choose the next president, Henry Clay told his supporters to vote for John Quincy Adams, rather than Andrew Jackson. He had made a bargain with Adams that if he gave his support to him, then Adams would grant him the seat of Secretary of State. This is a big deal because the Secretary of State is the stepping stone to the presidency. However, the "corrupt" aspect of the deal, prevented Clay from ever being elected, and caused Adams to have a difficult presidency.
John Adams was made president after George Washington left the presidency, and Adams had been vice president under Washington.
When John Adams was President he did some bad things.. Like for example had and affair and it wasn't with Abigail Adams. And a good thing is that he made a law to let women vote. He did good and bad things.
Henry Clay who finished fourth and was no longer in the running was able to get his supporters to vote for Adams. In return Adams made him his Secretary of State. This apparent bargain infuriated Jackson supporters and did great damage to Clay's chances in future elections.
john adams was imprtant because he made us get freedom.
