The 1824 presidential election saw four candidates from the Democratic-Republican party vie for the presidency: Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and Henry Clay. Jackson won a plurality of both the popular and electoral votes but failed to secure a majority, sending the election to the House of Representatives. There, Clay used his influence as Speaker of the House to elect Adams president, leading Jackson's supporters to cry "corrupt bargain." In 1828, Jackson ran against Adams for a rematch, attacking each other with harsh personal accusations. Jackson won in a landslide, marking the beginning of the Jacksonian era of American politics.
