Why Did Andrew Jackson Win The Election

The new methods that were introduced by Adams and Andrew Jackson were during the Elections of 1824 and 1828. In 1828 the "corrupt bargain" as well as unpopular policies, cast a shadow over Adam's presidency. Adams favored a stronger navy and federal government direction of the economy. In 1828 there were two political parties: the Democratic- Republicans, who supported Jackson, and the National Republicans, who backed Adams. So during the campaign, both parties resorted to mudslinging and some attempts ruin their opponent's reputation with insults. Some Jackson supporters accused Adams of kidnapping a young American girl and selling her to the ruler of Russia. During the election Andrew Jackson won the election because he had over 99 votes
