1828
Lesson plan.
Andrew Jackson vs John Quincy Adams — Andrew Jackson decisively defeated incumbent John Quincy Adams in a rematch driven by Jackson's furious populist campaign against the 'Corrupt Bargain' of 1824. Jackson carried the South and West by enormous margins, running as the champion of ordinary frontier and working-class voters against the Eastern elite. The election was extraordinarily bitter, featuring personal attacks on both candidates and their wives. Jackson's victory marked the beginning of Jacksonian Democracy and the modern Democratic Party.
