1832
Andrew Jackson and the 1832 map
Jackson won a convincing re-election over Henry Clay, running on his veto of the Second Bank of the United States. Clay had championed the Bank as part of his 'American System,' but Jackson made the Bank the central villain of the campaign. The Anti-Masonic Party — the first significant third party — also ran William Wirt and carried Vermont's electoral votes. South Carolina's nullification crisis was also simmering, but Jackson won a strong mandate to continue his policies.
