Difficulties In The Election Of 1828

In the year of 1828, the president Andrew Jackson was appointed to the office of the American government with this the fact of the remaining Indians tribes were important which were named “The Five Civilized Tribes” including the Cherokee and with the pass of the “Treaty of Etocha” forced the Cherokee out of the land of Georgia also known as the “Trail of Tears” where thousands upon thousands of Cherokee were killed during the extraction of the Cherokee’s land.

The major presidential candidate in the election of 1800, were John Adams, running for his second term in office, against his old friend, the democratic-republicans

It is a sad and angry time for the Cherokee people, but we mustn’t fight back any longer, instead I believe it is best to follow Major Ridge to the new home awaiting us in the West. Our stance in court against the Indian Removal Act has been ignored due to the threat of mutiny the Southern States are mustering up against the Federal Government. John C. Calhoun has challenged Federal Law for his state’s own interest and ultimately at our cost due to the fact that our land was used as a bribe in order to stop the continuation of the mutinous movement of the South. President Andrew Jackson, the man we fought the Creek Tribe so bravely against has selfishly turned his back on our people and our rights to our old beautiful land. Our Chief John Ross

Despite the outcome I fully believe that the election of 1828 did in fact, create a democratic revolt of the people because of the social and political backlash that the election created. The election of Andrew Jackson as President in 1828 marked the beginning of an era known as Jacksonian Democracy or the Age of the Common Man. The changes in politics during Jackson's presidency provided various social and economic changes.

filed with the U.S. Supreme Court an action challenging the authority of Georgia's laws. The Cherokees disputed that the laws desecrated their chief rights as a nation and criminally interfered into their treaty relationship with the United States. In Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), the court held that it did not have the authority to strike down Georgia's laws. In dicta that became particularly important in American Indian law, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote that the Cherokees constituted a "private, dependent nation" that existed under the custody of the United States.

The election of 1824 is one of the most unique and interesting elections in American history. The four candidates in the election were William Crawford, Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson. They were all from the Jacksonian Republican Party.

Adams vs Jefferson, The Tumultuous Election of 1800, describes the events of the infamous United States Presidential Election of 1800, the election that forever changed the landscape of American politics and reestablished the principles of the American Revolution. The election of 1800 was a battle of two political powerhouses: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They were two of America’s founding fathers who were once great friends, but were thrown against each other as adversaries with the future of America in their hands.

The “corrupt bargain” presidential election of 1824 led the entire nation to become increasingly political which led to the rise of the two-party system. The split between Clay and Adams on the hand and Jackson on the other hand was a key step in the development of the two-party system. By 1824, the followers of Jackson called themselves the Jacksonian and they advocated a strong executive branch, and favored continuous westward expansion. Clay and Adams chose the name National Republicans which they later change to Whig, in honor of Britain’s Whigs who had protested the authoritarian actions of the king of England (thus insinuating that Jackson desired to be a dictatorial King). Clay and Adam advocated a strong legislature, and government-funded internal improvements. The expansion of these various political parties saw the public interest toward politic rose. Because of this rise Political Candidates had no choice but to mingle with the masses and earn their respect and

Andrew Jackson knew that to win the 1829 election he had to first win over the votes of the frontier states (North Dakota through Texas). Jackson's main election selling point was to provide free land for the eager settlers. This was especially important in Georgia because new settlers were coming in and greatly desired the land the cherokee had. In order to justify his actions, Jackson stated the Cherokees had fought with the British during the Revolutionary war. However, the Cherokees were actually his allies during that time. One indian even regretted helping Jackson and said if he would have know it was going to be this way he would killed jackson right there. Just a few weeks after he won the election, the Georgia legislature passed a law removing all the Cherokee within the state borders. When the Indians went to the president for help he said, “No protection could be afforded to the Cherokees” unless they moved west of the Mississippi.” Caucasian citizens began to claim the homes of

When we look back into history, we are now able to fully comprehend the atrocities the Indians faced at the hands of the historic general and President, Andrew Jackson. It can be seen as one of the most shameful and unjust series of political actions taken by an American government. However, as an American living almost 200 years later, it is crucial to look at the motives possessed by Andrew Jackson, and ask whether he fully comprehended the repercussions of his actions or if is was simply ignorant to what he was subjection the natives to. We must also consider weather he truly had the countries best interest in mind, or his own.

Many elections have changed over the years, but an election that stands out from any other is the one from 1828. The 1828 presidential campaign was nothing like anything that had been seen at the time. The election process changed many things on how it was run, why it changed, and it also has long-term effects on the political process.

The Presidential election of 1828 was a remarkable year in American politics. It was not only noted for the corruption of the election but also the bitterness and enmity between the two candidates; John Adams and Andrew Jackson. It was also noted as the first election which was to be decided by popular vote. The election was one of the dirtiest in history as both candidates fought for the presidential seat ruthlessly like the election was a fight-to-the-death tournament. The election took place after the popular 1824 election which four presidential candidates ran form the same party; the Democratic-Republicans. The two candidates of the 1828 elections ran alongside William Crawford and Henry Clay. After the problems that occurred due to the

The people of the United States who were settling westward in the early nineteenth century viewed the Native Americans as a threat to westward expansion, and therefore pressured their leaders to set up policies that would remove Indians. Due to the long history various conflicts between Indians and Americans, the American settlers were apprehensive toward the Indians, leading to the perceived need of the removal of the Indians for their safety. Andrew Jackson’s negative attitude toward of the Indians also aroused public sentiment against them. Jackson’s position as a leader gave him more influence on the people, who knew of the battles he had won against the Indians during his time as an “Indian fighter.”

It’s been proven that campaigns can get dirty and grimy. In the fight for voters, candidates will put on some of the most outrageous acts to destroy each other. The respect for each other is nonexistent. With mudslinging, it gives political candidates the opportunity to assassinate the other candidate’s character, dig up candidates unethical past history, and scrutinize their political views. Mudslinging and dirty politics has not only been a fad of modern day campaigning, but is known to exist as early as the 1800’s presidential election. The elections most known for its dirty politics and mudslinging in the 1800’s were the election of 1828 and the election of 1840.
