- Title
Popular Preferences in the Presidential Election of 1824.
- Authors
RATCLIFFE, DONALD
- Abstract
The article explores the level of popular support given to U.S. presidential candidate and future U.S. President Andrew Jackson in the 1824 election, with the author arguing against the notions that Jackson's loss was undemocratic and that he enjoyed strong populist backing. Through an analysis of U.S. voter behavior between 1787 and 1825, the author concludes Jackson's defeat was brought about by old party loyalties and questions traditional notions on the rise of the Jacksonian Democrats.
