Indiana in 1824

The 1824 contest saw Indiana line up behind Jackson, delivering 5 electoral votes to the Democratic-Republican ticket. Nationally the result broke the other way — John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) won the presidency, leaving Indiana among the states he did not carry.

It marked the 3rd consecutive election in which Indiana backed the Democratic-Republican party, a streak reaching back to 1816. Indiana did not move alone — neighboring Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan broke the same way in 1824. Across the 53 presidential elections Indiana has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Republican party (32 times). The vote fell within the Era of Good Feelings — One-party rule and the Corrupt Bargain.
