What were the viewpoints of the candidates in the election of 1824 in America?
All four candidates were from the same party: The Democratic-Republican Party. They were John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, William Crawford, and Henry Clay. The winner was chosen by the House of Representatives because none of them received a majority of electoral votes . Because they were all from the same party, they did not differ much on issues, but instead fought about each other’s characters and personalities. G.O.: You said “I was glad when Jackson beat Adams the second time around.” I don’t think you were around in 1828.
