The presidential campaign of 1828 was one of the dirtiest history in American history.
During the campaign, the two sides poured reckless accusations against each other. Adams
was falsely accused of being an alcoholic. He was accused of using "priages" to buy "gaming
furniture" for the White House. On the contrary, presidential supporters objected. They
called Jackson a clunish, ignorant man who was not fit to be president. They were also
accused of deliberatingly married to his wife Rachel's first husband. One newspaper even
accused Jackson of his mother of immoral behavior. Jackson was clearly a people's choice
when the vote was counted. But he was not the choice of wealthy and well-born people
who were accustomed to running a country, including farmers, merchants, bankers, and
lawyers. Jackson has proven to be a controversial president. You’ll find out how several
groups of Americans viewed him, including the wealthy and wealthy, as well as the general
public, Native Americans, and state rights advocates.

On March 4, 1829, more than 10,000 people in every state to watch the inauguration of
their heroes in Washington, D.C. I flocked to Many people who flocked to the capital were
wealthy and well-born people who voted until the 1820s. The new state, formed west of the
Appalachian Mountains, challenged this claim. Along the border, rich or poor, educated or
uneducated, all men shared the same opportunities and dangers. They also share the same
rights, including their right to vote. The voting law has been changed to give "the average
person" the right to vote as Western states take the lead. This expansion of democracy has
not yet included African-Americans, American Indigenous peoples, or women. Nevertheless,
more than a million Americans voted in 1828, more than three times as many as they voted
in 1824.

Jackson was born in 1767 in the South Carolina Change. Jackson was captured by the British
while enlisting in the local militia when he was only 13 years old. After the war, Jackson
decided to become a lawyer. He worked for a law firm in Salisbury, North Carolina. The
amazing thing is that he learned the law at all. In 1788, Jackson headed to Nashville,
western Tennessee, to carry out his legal affairs. At the time, Nashville was a small chunk of
rough huts and tents next to the Cumberland River. But the town grew rapidly and Jackson’s
practices also grew together. He soon made enough money to buy land and slaves. Despite
his success, Jackson has not been able to overcome. A slave merchant named Charles
Dickinson insulted Jackson and his wife, Rachel. Enraged, Jackson applied for a duel with a
pistol, and at that time the duel was accepted as a way to resolve a dispute between the
gentlemen. Dickinson first shot and slapped Jackson in the chest. Jackson hardened himself,
picked up a pose gun and fired a shot. Dickinson collapsed and died. But Dickinson's bullet
was so close to Jackson's heart that even the doctors couldn't give it.
Jackson ran for the presidential election in 1824 against three other candidates: Henry Clay,
William Crawford, and John Quincy Adams. Jackson got the most popular votes and the
most electors. But he didn't get enough electoral votes to win a majority. If there are no
candidates with a majority of the Electoral College, the House of Representatives will elect a
president from among the three major candidates. Clay, in fourth place, urged supporters of
the House to support Adams. With that support, Adams got enough votes to become
president. Adams chose Clay as Secretary of State. It made a good thing to bring Clay to
Adams' cabinet. Because the two shared many of the same goals. Jackson's supporters,
however, accused Adams and Clay of them in their legitimate elections. And they promised
revenge in 1828. Jackson’s supporters used the time between elections to create a new
political organization called the Democratic Party, which is still in use today. They promised
to represent ordinary farmers, workers, and poor people. Jackson’s supporters have worked
hard to reach new voters in the U.S. But it also won the idea that the general public should
control the government. This idea became known as Jackson Democracy.
