5. The Election of 1824 (CONT’D) Since no candidate receiveda majority of electoral votes, the election was put into the hands of the constitutional election system via the House of Representatives.

6. The “Corrupt Bargain” • Claywithdrew and threw his support to John Q. Adams, leaving Adams and Jackson to face off • All the states Clay had won now voted for Adams; Adams won. • Jackson supporters called this the “Corrupt Bargain” because soon after Adams promoted Clay, who became the Secretary of State. • Jackson started campaigning for 1828 election.

7. Effects of The Election of 1824 • Split the Democratic-Republican Party in two. • Jacksonsupporters=became the Democrats • Adamssupporters= became the Republicans

8. The Election of 1828Jackson (D) v Adams (R) • bitter & dirty campaign; lots of personal attacks • Jackson used his popularity as a westerner and the Hero of the Battle of New Orleans to win votes • The Democratic Party held a National Convention and had a National Platform • Jackson promised to look out for the interests of the common people unlike Adams, a wealthy easterner. • “Jacksonian Democracy”: majority rule, not just rich white men but all white men!

9. Effects of The Election of 1828 • “Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit. My faith is in the common man.” • Because of all these factors, Jackson won.

10. The spoils system • Jackson removed 690 federal employees from office and appointedhis supporters, family, and friends to government positions– rather than the most qualified applicants. • “To the victor brings the spoils” • Can you predict any problems with this policy?

11. Native American Policy • Gold was discovered in Georgia, fueling the desire for Native American lands in the Southeast • With the pressure from the President, Congress passes the Indian Removal Act – gov’t could exchange Native land in the SE for land West of the Mississippi R • Georgia passed laws to force tribes, especially the Cherokee, off their lands • In the case of Worcester v. Georgia, John Marshall ruled that the Cherokee were a sovereign nation and Georgia’s removal laws were unconstitutional.

12. Native American Policy • Jackson ignored the ruling. “John Marshall made his ruling, now let him enforce it.” • The Trail of Tears • Cherokee were forced off their lands at gunpoint • 4,000 out of 16,000 died along the way to the “Indian Territory”

14. Warm Up #2 1/12/17 “The Union – next to our liberty, the most dear; may we all remember that it can only be preserved by respecting the rights of the states and distributing equally the benefits and burdens of the Union.” -John C. Calhoun What is he saying? AGENDA • Warm Up #2 • Andrew Jackson • Perspectives on Jackson HOMEWORK • pre-AP: Ch 13.1 Subheading notes due Friday • Regular: Ch 13 Vocab due Friday

15. Tariff of Abominations • John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, Jackson’s vice-president, objected to a high tariffpassed by Congress in 1832 because it would hurt Southern exports of cotton.

16. Nullification Crisis • Doctrine of Nullification: Calhoun argued that the South could nullify (cancel or reject) the tariff. • What are the consequences of this policy if left unchallenged by Jackson? We hate the “Tariff of Abominations!” We will secede if we cannot nullify it!”

17. Nullification Crisis “If that damned state can nullify federal law, then the union is dead… disunion by armed force is treason!” • The Force Bill:empowered Jackson to use the army to enforce the laws of Congress • Congress lowers the tariffenough that SouthCarolina backs down

18. War on the bank of the u.s. • Jacksonthought the national bank wastoo powerful • controlled the country’s money supply • and benefited northern, wealthy, Republicans • “Too much power, too few hands.” • Therefore, he vetoed the bank’s renewal charter, arguing that the National Bank was unconstitutional. • Jackson redistributed federal money out of the National bank and into state banks, killing the National Bank.

19. War on the bank of the u.s.

20. Panic of 1837 • The state banks Jackson transferred money into issued too much paper money. • Inflation increased and the dollars became worth less. • People took their dollars to the bank to exchange for gold or silver (specie) and manybanks failed- the nations money supply collapsed.

21. Panic of 1837 • Economy is hurt, especially in the North • The Whig Party is created—the party who opposes Jackson and his policies. • The Whig party believed a president should not have so much power- Who does Jackson think he is, a king?

26. It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes….when the laws undertake to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society have a right to complain to the injustice of their government. -Andrew Jackson, 1832 Warm Up: What is he saying?
