The Controversial Election of 1824 End of the Era of Good Feeling Republicans compete for the presidency Sec of State John Quincy Adams Speaker of House Henry Clay                                               

The Controversial Election of 1824 Sec of War John C. Calhoun General Andrew Jackson William H. Crawford Calhoun backed out in the hope of securing the vice presidency

The Controversial Election of 1824 No majority in the electoral college Adams finished with 84 votes, Jackson 99, Crawford 41 and Clay 37

The Controversial Election of 1824 12th Amendment – if no candidate receives a majority Election decided by the House of Representatives from among the top three candidates

The Controversial Election of 1824 Jackson clearly expected to win, figuring that the House would act to confirm his strong showing However, Clay, as Speaker of the House, used his influence to sway the vote to Adams

The Controversial Election of 1824 The Philadelphia Observer charged that Adams had made a secret deal to obtain Clay’s support Three days later, Adams’s nomination of Clay as secretary of state seemed to confirm the charges of a “corrupt bargain.”

The Election of 1828 Jackson won every state in the South and West Adams won the electoral votes of every state in the North except Pennsylvania and part of New York The election results were a clear victory for Jackson

The Age of Jackson Jackson’s Appeal to the Common Citizen Jackson claimed he was of humble backgrounds Jackson was a wealthy plantation owner

The Age of Jackson Spoils System Incoming officials throw out former appointees and replace them with their own friends

What does the cartoonist imply? That Andrew Jackson was corrupt and foolish for rewarding party loyalty with government jobs

The Age of Jackson Favored a rotational system of staffing the government Gave away huge numbers of jobs to friends and political allies

The Indian Crisis Jackson favored the forcible removal and relocation westward on reservations Using harassment and bribery, Jackson’s Admin. Forced many of the Indian Nations to march west to present day Oklahoma

The Indian Crisis Occupied massive amounts of land in Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee Farmers and miners wanted the land of the five civilized tribes

The Indian Crisis Indian Removal Act of 1830 Five Civilized Nations: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw, & Seminole Federal government provided funds to negotiate treaties that would force the Native Americans to move west

The Indian Crisis Jackson stated the removal policy was, “not only liberal, but generous,” because it would enable native Americans to maintain their way of life

Trail of Tears Cherokee Nation tried to fight Indian Removal Act through the courts Chief Justice John Marshall refused to rule on first case brought against Georgia Cherokee nation had no federal standing Neither foreign nation or a state

Trail of Tears Worcester v. Georgia 1832 Samuel Austin Worcester- missionary Court recognized Cherokee nation as a distinct political community of people

Trail of Tears SC ruled Georgia was not entitled to regulate lands and remove Indians Jackson replied by stating “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.”

Analyze: Political Cartoons: “King” Andrew Jackson

Trail of Tears By 1837, the Jackson administration had removed 46,000 Native American people from their land east of the Mississippi Opening 25 million acres of land to white settlement and to slavery

Trail of Tears: Cause, Effect and Justification Compare the following maps that illustrate the land holdings of the Cherokee people at specific times in history

Trail of Tears: Cause, Effect and Justification

Focus Question What major political issues emerged during the 1830s?

The Nullification Crisis 1828 Congress passed a high tariff Know as the Tariff of Abomination drive up duties to as high as 45% while imposing heavy tariffs on raw materials like wool Disliked by southerners

Calhoun Champions Nullification John C. Calhoun – South Carolina Supported the idea that state have the right to nullify or void any federal law deemed unconstitutional South Carolina nullified the Tariff of 1828 Prohibited the collection of tariff duties Threatened to secede from the nation Calhoun resigns the Vice Presidency becomes a Senator Pres. Jackson rejects South Carolina’s nullification and threatens to force if necessary – Force Bill passed

The Bank War Jackson Opposes the Bank of the United States (BUS) Jacksonian Democrats opposed the national bank because they thought it favored the wealthy. In 1832, Henry Clay supported a bill for the rechartering of the BUS—four years early He felt that if Jackson signed it, he’d alienate his followers, and if he vetoed it, he’d lose the supports of the “best people” of the East.

The Bank War Jackson vetoed the renewal of the BUS Declared the bank as unauthorized by the Constitution (despite political foe John Marshall’s ruling that it was okay), and anti-American. The veto increased the power of the president by ignoring the Supreme Court and aligned the West against the East.

The Whig Party Forms Henry Clay and Daniel Webster form the Whig party in response to Jackson’s policies Believed in a strong national government Broad interpretation of the Constitution Challenged Jacksonian Democrats in local, state and national elections Election of 1832 Clay ran for Pres. Jackson won in a landslide

Politics After Jackson Van Buren’s Presidency and the Panic of 1837 The first president to have been born in America Inherited the depression caused by Jackson’s BUS killing The panic of 1837 was caused by over speculation and the “Bank War,” Hundreds of banks fell, including some of Jackson’s “pet banks,” banks that had received the money that Jackson had withdrawn from the BUS to kill it
