  5. The End of an Era • In the election of 1824, with no political party to contend against, the Democrat-Republicans turned on themselves and ran four candidates for the presidency. • The election resulted in no one winning an electoral majority, and the election was thrown into the House of Representatives. • Once the election was thrown into the House, each state got one vote, regardless of how their citizens voted. In the end, John Quincy Adams won the presidency, though he had lost the popular vote and had come in second to Jackson in the electoral vote.

  6. The End of an Era • As president, Adams supported bold internal improvements. • Almost from the moment the 1824 election ended in the decision by the House of Representatives, the 1828 election began. • Jackson and his followers launched attacks on Adams’s character, to which the president’s supporters replied with equally blistering assaults.
