canals, in the west.
• The American System
never went into effect.
Henry Clay

Missouri Compromise of 1820:
Compromise on slavery in new territory
By Henry Clay
Reasons for Missouri Compromise of 1820
•
As Americans move into the MidWest, territories begin to apply for
admittance in the United States
•
Northern and Southern
Congressmen begin to argue
about whether or not new states
should be slave or free states
•
Henry Clay engineered a
compromise in which slavery was
forbidden in Louisiana Territory
north of “Missouri Comp. Line
• Missouri is admitted as a
slave state and Maine is
admitted as a free state at
the same time to keep the
balance of power between
free and slave states in the
Senate
1820 Missouri Compromise
Later, this solution would prove to be
the dividing line for the Civil War, but for
the next decade it would prevent
regionalism from flaring up too much.

13. Explain what the “Corrupt Bargain” was.
The Election of 1824:
The “Corrupt Bargain”

The winner in the
Electoral College was
Andrew Jackson, the
hero of the War of 1812,
with ninety-nine votes.
He was followed by John
Quincy Adams, the son of
the second president and
Monroe' secretary of state,
who secured eighty-four
votes.
Crawford trailed behind with
forty-one votes.
Although Jackson seemed to have won a narrow victory, receiving 43 % of the
popular vote versus just 31 % for Adams, he would not be the country's sixth
president.
Because nobody had received a majority of votes in the
electoral college, the House of Representatives had to
choose between the top two candidates.
After the election took place in the House of Representatives,
J. Q. Adams announced that Henry Clay would be his
nominee for Secretary of State.
There was an immediate accusation that some kind of deal
had been struck, a so-called "corrupt bargain."
And on March 5, 1825, President Adams nominated Henry
Clay for Secretary of State.
Henry Clay proved to be an influential
dealmaker in the final outcome of the
election.

Had Adams specifically promised Clay the
appointment as Secretary of State in
exchange for his support?
(At that time, the position of Secretary of State was considered the
best stepping-stone to the presidency.)
No "smoking gun" to prove or
disprove the accusations of a
"corrupt bargain" has ever been
found.
Well-respected modern historians disagree on the matter.
Candidates were all Democratic-Republicans. This led to
the development of a new two-party system in the United
States.
In the election, Andrew Jackson won a plurality of both the
popular and electoral vote.
But John Quincy Adams became the 6th president.
Election of 1828
Jackson presented himself as a
champion of the common man and
by doing so furthered the
democratization of American politics.
He was elected as the 7th president
