Election of 1824

            In the election of 1824, John Quincy Adams was running against Andrew Jackson. One thing that effected the election of 1824 was the regional differences which soon led to the split in the Republican Party. Jackson soon won the most popular votes and with that you would think he would become president but no. since Henry clay also was running he gave his electoral votes to Adams and Adams became president. Over the next four years the split between Jackson and Adams grew. Jackson belived that he represented the "common people". He also believed Adams represented the Easterners. This dispute created another two party system. The supporters of Jackson became known as the Democrats. The supporters of Adams became know as national republicans, now days known as just republicans. 4 years later in the election of 1828 once again Adams was running against Jackson. This campaign was a bitter one because it wasn't about them wanting to be president it was that they didn't want each other to be president so 50% or so of the reason each of them ran was so that the other one didn't get to be president. One of Jackson's promises was to look out for the interests of the common people and premote the idea of majority rule.
