U.S. presidential election 1828 - Campaign. This campaign was marked by an impressive amount of mud-slinging. Jackson's marriage came in for attack: when he had married his wife Rachel, the couple had believed that she was divorced; however, the divorce was not yet finalized, so he had had to remarry her once the legal papers were complete. In the Adams campaign's hands, this became a scandal. One pamphlet asked: "Ought a convicted adulteress and her paramour husband t ...

Andrew Jackson had won a plurality of both the popular(a) and electoral votes in the election of 1824, but had still been beaten by John Quincy Adams when the election was thrown into the House of Representatives. Henry Clay, the then-Speaker of the House, had played kingmaker by throwing his support to Adams; when Adams made Clay his Secretary of State, Jackson and his followers accused Clay and Adams of a "corrupt bargain", and had been bashing Adams' presidency as illegitimate ever since. (a) It should be noted that ...

1828 was important for a number of reasons. In May 1828 the Test and Corporation Acts were repealed. This gave non-conformists greater political freedom and equality in Britain. This was important as it had two effects. One was that it gave the Catholics hope that a similar act would be passed for Catholics as it was the next logical step in the path of reform. The other effect was that it angered some Catholics as they began to question why th ...

Meanwhile Jackson, having won a plurality of the popular and electoral votes in 1824, denounced the election as a "corrupt bargain." He launched a crusade to put himself in the White House, and handily defeated Adams in 1828. That year Jackson did not refer to himself as a Democrat or as a member of any party; he did not have a ticket with candidates for state office, and he issued no platform. In a word, he did not operate a political party. Working closely with state leaders, especially Martin Van Buren of New York, Thomas Ritchie of Virgi ...

Prior to 1809 naval officers had occasionally served as First Lord of the Admiralty, or president of the Board of Admiralty. However, after this time the office was invariably held by a civilian politician. The title of First Sea Lord was first given to the senior naval officer on the Board of Admiralty in 1828. The First Sea Lord was a member of the Chiefs of Staff Committee and in rotation with the representatives of the other services (the Chief of the Imperial General Staff and Chief of the Air Staff) would serve as the chairman of that committee and head of all British armed forces (from 1956 the post was ...

The Catholic Association had a number of strengths. One was that Daniel O'Connell was a respectable figure and since he wasn't associated with any revolutionary groups (despite going into hiding after the United Irishmen were destroyed by Britain. This was important as the organisation had mass support and made it look like a protest group, rather than a revolutionary organisation. This meant that Britain would be less likely to make a move against it. Another strength was that the aims of the Catholic Association were fairly moderate ...
