The election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency is chronicled in this volume, focusing on the contentious 1828 campaign against incumbent John Quincy Adams. Jackson, a reluctant candidate, faced intense mudslinging that targeted his character and qualifications, portraying him as morally deficient. Despite personal tragedies, including the death of his wife, Jackson viewed the election as a victory for democracy over corrupt political elites. The narrative highlights the campaign's significance in shaping Jackson's legacy and the broader political landscape of the time.
