Andrew_Jacksons_Presidency

Andrew Jacksons Presidency Andrew Jackson In the election of 1828, Andrew Jackson ran against John Quincy Adams. Everyone that wasn’t in support of Adams, ran against him. Jackson was able to modify some of the awkward things that Adams did when he became President in the previous election. Jackson’s supporters told others that Adams was a member of the upper class and that Jackson himself represented the “common man.” And since Jackson was a military chief and commander, Adams followers said that if Jackson became President that he would become an over powerful dictator like Napoleon Bonaparte. Just like people were saying at the time, this really was a personal election. In spite of all the clashing of ideas, Jackson turned out to be the easy winner, probably based on the fact that there truly was more common people than wealthy ones. The day Jackson sworn in as the new President, that started the Jacksonian Age. When Jackson went on his way to the capital, tons of “common” people gathered in crowds to see him and cheer him on. Since Jackson was a every day person, he let other ever day people in to work in the white house.
