Excerpt is 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 in 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 no 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 though 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 the government was for the common man. He believed in a 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 the 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 statement makes a true comparison of the 1824 and 1828 elections?
The losers in 1824 were the main candidates for president in 1828.
Sectional divisions were appearing in 1824 and very clear in 1828.
Candidates were more divided on the issues in 1828 than in 1824.
More people voted in the election of 1824 than they did in 1828.

How has immigration impacted Texas?
pls help
Answer:Texas has a long history of immigration, with the majority of immigrants hailing from Mexico. Immigrants now account for one-sixth of the state’s total population and support the local economy in a growing number of industries. Construction—one of the state’s largest and fastest growing industries—relies on immigrants for more than a third of its workers. As neighbors, business owners, taxpayers, and workers, immigrants are an integral part of Texas’s diverse and thriving communities and make extensive contributions that benefit all.
One in six Texas residents is an immigrant, while another one in six residents is a native-born U.S. citizen with at least one immigrant parent.
In 2018, 4.9 million immigrants (foreign-born individuals) comprised 17 percent of the population.
Texas was home to 2.3 million women, 2.3 million men, and 319,331 children who were immigrants.
The top countries of origin for immigrants were Mexico (51 percent of immigrants), India (6 percent), El Salvador (5 percent), Vietnam (4 percent), and Honduras (3 percent).
In 2018, 4.5 million people in Texas (16 percent of the state’s population) were native-born Americans who had at least one immigrant parent.
More than one-third of all immigrants in Texas are naturalized U.S. citizens.
1.9 million immigrants (38 percent) had naturalized as of 2018, and 957,647 immigrants were eligible to become naturalized U.S. citizens in 2017.
Two-thirds (66 percent) of immigrants reported speaking English “well” or “very well.”
Immigrants in Texas are concentrated at either end of the educational spectrum.
More than a quarter (26 percent) of adult immigrants had a college degree or more education in 2018, while over a third (37 percent) had less than a high school diploma.
