The election of 1824, not 1812, was the one in which John Quincy Adams was declared the winner. The decision was ultimately made by the House of Representatives after no candidate secured a majority of electoral votes. Henry Clay, a key figure and Speaker of the House, supported Adams, which helped him win the presidency despite Andrew Jackson having received more popular and electoral votes. This controversial outcome led to accusations of a "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Clay.

Why might Jackson have considered the outcome of the 1824 election the results of a ''corrupt bargain''?

Andrew Jackson, the only great military hero from the War of 1812, won the most popular and electoral votes, but his electoral vote fell short of the required majority. As specified in the Constitution, the choice was then made by the House of Representatives, which gave the nod to John Quincy Adams. Believing that they had been deprived of the presidency by a "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Speaker of the House Henry Clay, who was later named secretary of state, Jackson and his supporters almost immediately began organizing for the 1828 election.
