PARTY POLITICS Andrew Jackson creates a new political party as a result of the election of 1824.

Machine Politics are born.

Page 27: United States

ELECTION OF 1824 John Q Adams, John C. Calhoun,

William Crawford, Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay are all Republican candidates for President.

Jackson has the most popular votes, but not enough electoral votes.

Page 28: United States

ELECTION OF 1824 Election goes to the House of

Representative. Henry Clay gives his support to

Adams who wins in the House. Jackson is angry and starts

preparing for 1828.

Page 29: United States

POLITICAL MACHINE A tightly run organization with a successful record of winning public office.

Martin Van Buren and Jackson create the Democratic Party.

Page 30: United States

DEMOCRATIC PARTY Jackson created excitement, and became a leader of the common man.

Elected President in 1828 (179-83)

Page 31: United States
Page 32: United States

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY Spoils System: “To the victor goes the spoils.

Made this policy official and justified it by saying any competent man could do the job required.

Page 33: United States

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY Wanted a small and inactive

federal government. Vetoed more proposed laws

than the six presidents before him combined.

An active President was uncommon.

Page 34: United States

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY Nullification: Right of a state to

make a federal law void. South Carolina proposed this

regarding the Tariff of 1828. Jackson threatened federal

troops would be sent in to collect the tariff.

Page 35: United States

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY Nullification was the center of the

debate about who has Supreme Power the states or the Federal Government.

Supremacy Clause: John C Calhoun resigned as VP. This is the first sign of a lack of national

unity that would lead to the Civil War.

Page 36: United States

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY He appoints a cabinet that he could dominate rather than appoint men with expertise he would have to listen to.

Page 37: United States

INDIAN REMOVAL ACT OF 1830 Jackson became nationally famous as an Indian fighter.

Wanted to open the land up to economic development.

INDIAN REMOVAL ACT OF 1830 Jackson enforced the law anyway.

Resulted in the Trail of Tears. “John Marshall made his decision now let’s see him enforce it.”

LINE IN THE SAND The exact origin of the phrase is unknown, but several events (though perhaps

in legend only) have a reference to an actual line being drawn: In the United States, the phrase is most commonly associated with Texas history

surrounding the Battle of the Alamo, as it is attributed to Colonel William Travis, commander of the Alamo defense forces.[1] In the waning days of the Battle (somewhere between March 3–5, 1836), with Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna having the Alamo completely surrounded, Santa Anna sent a messenger to Travis demanding surrender, or else everyone in the compound would be killed. According to the legend, Travis called the Alamo defenders together, explained that defeat was almost certain, and read the letter of surrender; Travis then (having chosen to die instead of surrender) reportedly pulled his battle sword, drew a line in the sand of the Alamo, and asked for volunteers to cross over the line and join him, understanding their decision would be irreversible. The legend states that all but one of the defenders (including Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett) joined Travis on his side of the line; Moses Rose being the only holdout. Travis then responded to Santa Anna's letter with cannon fire, whereupon Santa Anna replied by playing El Degüello.
