Background: The presidential election of 1828 has been called the 'rise of the common man' election. The election was also nicknamed the 'Revolution of 1828'. It was a revolution that was in response to the 'Corrupt Bargain' of 1824 election when Jackson lost his bid for presidency when no candidate got a majority of the electoral votes. Reason: Replacing Caucuses (held in private) with Conventions was more democratic. This was a response by the people as an upwelling of support arose against 'back room deals' and candidates chosen by caucus without enough public input. Significance: Andrew Jackson was the first president not born of privilege. The election was the first time that individuals began to fight against corruption in politics.
The tension between John Adams and Andrew Jackson began when Jackson ran for president in 1824. Adams, who was president from 1797 to 1801, viewed Jackson as an upstart and a political outsider, and was uncomfortable with his popularity among the people. In 1824, Jackson won the most popular votes and Electoral College votes but did not receive the majority of votes needed to become president. He was forced into a runoff election with John Quincy Adams, who was Adams' son. The House of Representatives, which decided the runoff election, chose John Quincy Adams, much to the dismay of Jackson supporters. Adams and his allies were accused of making a "corrupt bargain" with House speaker Henry Clay in order to win the election. This further fueled Jackson's distaste for Adams and his supporters. The tension between Jackson and Adams was further exacerbated by Jackson's political views. Jackson was a staunch defender of states' rights and believed in a more decentralized form of government. Adams, on the other hand, was a strong proponent of a strong central government and a more centralized form of government. This ideological divide between the two men created additional tension between them. The tension between Jackson and Adams also stemmed from their personal styles. Adams was a reserved, cerebral leader who believed in following the law and the Constitution. Jackson, on the other hand, was a passionate populist who believed in taking action and relying on the will of the people. This difference in leadership style created a divide between the two men. Ultimately, the tension between Jackson and Adams was rooted in their political and ideological differences, as well as a personal rivalry stemming from the contentious 1824 presidential election. This divide only grew stronger as Jackson ascended to the presidency in 1828 and began to implement his own policies and vision for the country. The rift between Jackson and Adams was never completely healed, and their differences continue to be felt to this day.
