Excerpt taken from The Historic Rise of Old Hickory by Suzanne B. Williams


Four major candidates ran in the 1824 election, all under the "Democratic-Republican" name. One of the candidates, Andrew Jackson, was already famous. In the 1780s, he earned the right to practice law and served in various offices of the state government, including senator. He earned the nickname "Old Hickory" for his toughness as a general during the War of 1812 and First Seminole War. Jackson supported slavery and "Indian removal." This earned him support from voters in southern and frontier states. The other three candidates were John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, Henry Clay of Kentucky, and William Crawford of Georgia.


U.S. presidents are elected through the Electoral College. The Founding Fathers worried that Americans were too spread out to learn enough about the candidates. Under the Electoral College, Americans cast their ballot for the popular vote, which chooses the electors for each state. The number of electoral votes each state equals the number of representatives and senators combined. The candidates must win an absolute majority of electoral votes to win the election.


In 1824, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote, but he did not win it in each state. Jackson and Adams both won many electoral votes. Jackson won the most with 99. However, a candidate needs an absolute majority of electoral votes to win. In 1824, Jackson needed 131 to win. When there is not majority winner, the election goes to the House of Representatives. This has only happened twice in U.S. history.


Even though he won the popular vote and many electoral votes, Andrew Jackson lost the presidency in 1824. John Quincy Adams was the Secretary of State at this time. Henry Clay was the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Henry Clay, receiving the least, was left out. However, as a leader in the House of Representatives, he had influence over the other members. Clay openly hated Jackson and there were rumors that Clay made a deal with Adams in exchange for his support. The House election declared John Quincy Adams president. Soon, he chose Henry Clay to fill the seat he left vacant, Secretary of State. Jackson was shocked and enraged. Although there was no inquiry of possible wrongdoing, Jackson accused Adams and Clay of making a "corrupt bargain."


John Quincy Adams was a disappointment as president. Many of his goals created divisions like federal funds for internal improvement. Some states thought that taking federal funds would force them to follow certain rules. They felt this reduced their rights as independent states. Jackson took advantage of issues like this one to gather more support. More Jackson supporters found their way to seats in Congress. He was as a man of the people and said Adams could never understand the common man’s concerns.


John Quincy Adams ran against Andrew Jackson in the 1828 election. Personal attacks grew even more vicious, but Andrew Jackson appealed to many. He believed government was for the common man. He believed in strict reading of the law and limited internal improvements. He also believed in states’ rights.


Andrew Jackson easily won the 1828 election, winning both the popular vote and a majority of electoral votes. Historians note the sectional nature of the voting. Support for Jackson was concentrated in South while Adams’ support was mostly in the North. Jackson was so popular because he brought changes to the government. He also wanted to make sure the government was responsible for its actions. Jackson pushed settlement into the frontier. He supported the Indian Removal act. He also defended the spread of slavery. Though his support was heavier in the South, he was determined to keep a unified nation. The rise and presidency of Old Hickory is memorable to Americans today.



Which of the following did Andrew Jackson not support?


A limited national government

Spreading of slavery to the frontier

Federal funds for internal improvements

A strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution

Read the following text:

A lady in a fine gown and hat stepped out of the carriage and strode up to the door of 221B Baker Street. She sniffled and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Taking a deep breath, she rapped on the door of the world's most famous detective.

Mrs. Hudson answered the door and ushered the visitor to Sherlock Holmes' flat. The detective stood tall and confident, gazing at Mrs. Blakely with an inquisitive smile. He invited Mrs. Blakely to enter. Mrs. Hudson offered her some tea. After using the tea to warm her hands, Mrs. Blakely felt capable of explaining her situation. Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Blakely had arrived home to find a masked individual robbing her house. When the mysterious figure heard her approach, he or she ran farther into the house and disappeared. All that remained was the black mask lying on the ground. Mrs. Blakely's most prized possession, a massive purple gem, also had disappeared. While Mrs. Blakely knew it would be useless to ask Holmes to retrieve the gem, she wanted him to determine how the thief and gem had disappeared so completely.

Sherlock Holmes listened to the tale and agreed to visit the crime scene. The safe was open and empty, but it was not damaged. There was no visible entry into the room where the safe was kept: the windows were sealed, and the door was not damaged. Mrs. Blakely led Sherlock Holmes farther into the house and stopped in the middle of a hallway of old portraits. There were no windows, and the only door was at the other end of the hallway.

"This spot is where I found the black mask," Mrs. Blakely explained.

Sherlock Holmes inspected the hallway with a wrinkled brow. He walked up and down the hallway. He put his hand on the smooth floor. Then, Sherlock's brow smoothed and a glint entered his eyes. Turning to the wall, he pressed the expensive portrait into the wall.

"What are you doing to my painting?" Mrs. Blakely gasped.

"Calm down, Mrs. Blakely," Holmes replied. "The solution to this mystery is staring you in the face. There is no sign of a break in, so the thief has access to the house. The thief disappeared in this spot without using the far door, so there must be a hiding spot within the walls or floor. There are scratches on the ground near this portrait. I felt a draft when I reached down to test the floor. It's elementary, Mrs. Blakely. The thief is hidden in the wall behind this portrait."

Holmes pushed the portrait harder into the wall. The wall moved, revealing a hiding place. Sherlock Holmes lit a candle. Its light revealed a sleeping maid with a gigantic purple gem clasped in her hands. The mystery of the disappearing thief was solved.
