In addition, Adams educated manner and polished style was something that made more Americans feel disconnected from him and his polices as well widening the rift between him and Jackson. Specifically, Adams was an elitist leader of the merchant class, cautious of states rights, a believer in national improvement. With these ideals in mind, coupled with the fact that his nomination of Henry Clay as Secretary of State created the appearance of “corrupt bargain” tainted Adams and his future chances of
In the years 1829-1839, Jackson had decided to run for President. He thought that the “common man” should have more say in government, therefore, he was running as a Democratic.

Aristotle once said “At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; seperated from law and justice he is the worst”. In A.B Guthrie, Jr.’s short story “Bargain” the protagonist Mr. Baumer demonstrates through his actions the extent to which a man who is so separated from the law will go for revenge. When a freighter by the name of Slade who was hired by Mr. Baumer to transport goods to his store was found dead on the side of the road, many characters are lead to believe that Slade's death was caused by the cold weather conditions. However, further narration by Al who works for Mr. Baumer reveals that Slade's death could be a potential homicide premeditated by Mr. Baumer himself. Textual evidence found throughout the story proves the claim
Since the popular votes were closely tied, by the Twelfth Amendment, the House of Representatives had to choose the next winner. Having to choose among the top three, Clay was eliminated and was put as the Speaker of the House, so he still had influence over the election. Being in a position to throw the election, Clay decided to do the process of elimination. Crawford had a paralytic stroke automatically taking him out, and since he hated Jackson, he was also taken out, leaving John Quincy Adams to be the only candidate. Clay didn’t have any resentment towards him and actually
The election of 1828 was a rematch between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. 1828 presidential is very different from earlier presidential because of the party organization that promoted Andrew Jackson. Candidates organized their campaigns by using slogans, buttons and have stage events this is to show people who they are and what their capable of doing to better our country. They use this steps to show people who they are and what their capable of doing. Adams and Jacksons are completely a different person, I said that because Andrew Jackson was the first president who was unfortunate or not rich.
6. John Quincy Adams (1825-1829) “The corrupt Son” Grade: C Even before the commencement of his presidency, Quincy Adams proved to not be the ruler the nation wanted. The election of 1824 has coined the name the “corrupt bargain”.
President Grant won the election due to his political campaign manager, the first lady, and Cyrus Beene. These characters were able to rig the election and give the President electoral votes that were theoretically going to the opposing candidate. Thus, allowing President Grant to win the Presidency. The people who helped the President win the seat in office knew the consequences and risks of getting caught. However, if the President was elected, Cyrus Beene would be appointed as the White House Chief of Staff.
As educated by the twelfth Amendment, the House held an overflow vote on December 1, 1824, in which Adams developed successful. Supporters of the war legend Andrew Jackson railed against a suspected "degenerate deal" amongst Adams and Henry Clay, another rival, the last of whom mediated with Kentucky's congressional assignment of Adams' benefit. Adams lost a merciless reelection crusade to Andrew Jackson. The presidential race of 1828 included one of the meanest, dirtiest crusades in American history. Adams' special foundation shaded him an "elitist," and Jackson supporters spread talk that, as minister, Adams offered an American young lady to the Russian ruler for sexual favors.
John Quincy Adams John Quincy Adams, the 6th president of the United States, became president in a confusing and indecisive election. Because no candidate had a majority of the electoral votes, the House was left to choose as stated in the Twelfth Amendment. But, his victory haunted him for the entirety of his term and was a major factor in not being re-elected. During the time he was elected, the Federalists had collapsed as a national opposition party, and nearly every national political figure was a member of the same party-the Jeffersonian Republicans. This causes there to be no front runner for the 1824 election, making it difficult for John Quincy Adams to gain support.

In previous elections, only the rich men were able to vote which as a result whoever promised more the wealth was elected for president.

As seen in the election of 1828 the person who was more relatable to the people, won because the common man was able to vote and so they used that opportunity and elected whoever they thought was going to help them. Overall the people preferred Jackson over Adams because Jackson was able to relate to the people better, and because he was a symbol of the American dream.
The term “Corrupt Bargain” alludes to three noteworthy occurrences in American history in which political understanding was dictated by congressional or presidential activities that numerous saw to be degenerate from diverse points of view. Two of these included determination of vague or debated discretionary votes from the United States presidential race process, and the third included the questioned utilization of a presidential exoneration. In each of the three cases, the president so lifted served a solitary term, or particular opening, and either did not run once more, or was not reelected when he ran. In the 1824 decision, no through and through dominant part was accomplished and the procedure required determination in the House of Representatives,
Mr. Baumer for Revenge or Justice Many people assume that Revenge and Justice is the same, but they always get muddled. (AG) In the short historical fiction, “Bargain” by A.B. Guthrie, a German immigrant and owner of a general store attempts to collect a debt from “Freighter” Slade, the town bully and alcoholic. After Slade refuses to pay his debt, Mr. Baumer takes matter into his own hands. (SS) Slade’s death was an act of Revenge.
The Liberty Party costed Henry Clay’s popular vote in the state of New York. Polk nipped Henry Clay, 170 to 105 votes in the Electoral College and 1,338,464 to 1,300,097 in the popular column. Clay would have won if he had not lost New York State by a scant 5,000 votes. Ironically, the anti-Texas Liberty party, by spoiling Clay’s chances and helping to ensure the election of pro-Texas Polk, hastened the annexation of Texas.
When the presidential election of 1832 came around, he decided to run for the third time. There was only one difference about this election.

Unfortunately, Henry Clay’s name did not make that list because he was brutally defeated by Andrew Jackson.
