The Basic Answers • Who: Andrew Jackson vs. Henry Clay • What: The Presidential Election of 1832 • When: 1832 • Where: United States of America • Why: Presidential elections occur every four years
The History of Andrew Jackson Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767, he received sporadic education. But in his late teens he read law for about two years, and he became an outstanding young lawyer in Tennessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he engaged in brawls, and in a duel killed a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel. In 1824 some state political factions rallied around Jackson; by 1828 enough had joined "Old Hickory" to win numerous state elections and control of the Federal administration in Washington. In 1832 Andrew polled more than 56 percent of the popular vote. Jackson recommended, as president, to eliminate the electoral college. Hostile cartoonists portrayed him as King Andrew I. http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/aj7.html

Media used in the Jackson campaign • To get news of the election the people would have to hear it from their county judges and mayors who could hear the information from unreliable sources.
Media Used In the Andrew Jackson Campaign • When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1828, his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" for his populist views and his slogan, "Let the people rule." Jackson, however, picked up on their name calling and turned it to his own advantage by using the donkey on his campaign posters. During his presidency, the donkey was used to represent Jackson's stubbornness when he vetoed re-chartering the National Bank. • The first time the donkey was used in a political cartoon to represent the Democratic party, it was again in conjunction with Jackson. Although in 1837 Jackson was retired, he still thought of himself as the Party's leader and was shown trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it to go. The cartoon was titled "A Modern Baalim and his Ass." http://www.democrats.org/a/2005/06/history_of_the.php
Relating To Today Very much how like people trashed on Andrew Jacksons wife for being a “slut” and a “hooker”, people blew the story with Sarah Palin’s daughters pregnancy way out of proportion. Due to the political views of her parents, 17 year old daughter, Willow, was forced to marry the boy who impregnated her.
