Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 28 November 2012 President Jackson: Dictator or Democrat? For the entire duration of John Quincy Adams? presidency, Americans were itching for someone new. They needed someone rough and tough who could serve as not just a president, but as a national hero. Jackson was the perfect candidate for the job, standing tall and mighty over America with a face that was testament to all the many battles and duels he had endured. Having technically won the popular vote in the 1824 election, which was supposedly ?corrupt,? there was virtually no competition for Jackson in the 1828 election. While John Quincy did run again, Jackson won by a landslide with the electoral vote being 68% for Jackson to a mere 32% vote for Adams.

The Age of Jackson Outline The election of 1824 represented a break in the normal presidential nominating process As the reigning political organization, the Republicans chose their candidates by caucus The president usually sent the name of his secretary of state as his successor. Under this plan, in 1824, James Monroe would nominate John Quincy Adams The expansion of voting rights forced a change in the process in 1824 The caucus system seemed like an insider process. Divisions had grown up within the Republicans, with the National Republicans and the Democratic Republicans sponsoring different agendas The likelihood of Adam?s succession became clouded Although he had substantial experience as a diplomat, he still resembled a Federalist.
