Which best describes the “corrupt bargain” of 1824

History
1 answer:
Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
8 0
To the surprise of many, the House elected John Quincy Adams over rival Andrew Jackson. It was widely believed that Clay, the Speaker of the House at the time, convinced Congress to elect Adams, who then made Clay his Secretary of State. Jackson's supporters denounced this as a "corrupt bargain.
So pretty much it looked like Clay traded a government position for his support of Adams.
Hope this helped you!

Which of the following were issues facing the North as the war dragged on? (there are more than one answer)
svp [43]

The North had its share of problems during the U.S Civil War. Late in the war, when victories are few and casualties are high, the Union employed conscription to alleviate manpower shortages. Of course, conscription did not proceed well and it did not sit well with the general public. There is so much evasion and resistance to the draft, leading to violent draft riots in New York.

Tension grow between what two individuals during Jefferson presidency and why
Dvinal [7]
Adams and Jefferson represented two different visions of what the United States of America should look like. Whereas Adams and his fellow Federalists, including George Washington, envisioned a strong central government and a thriving manufacturing sector centered in the cities, Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans espoused an agrarian ideal, rooted in the republican virtues of the independent small farmer. The election of 1800 was fiercely contested and facilitated the rise of the two-party system and bitter partisanship.
Upon entering office, Jefferson focused on reducing the national debt he had inherited from his predecessors. His administration lowered excise taxes while slashing government spending. Additionally, the Jefferson administration reduced the size of the Navy, ultimately bringing the national debt down from $83 to $57 million. Foreign developments, however, including the intensification of piracy along the Barbary Coast, would necessitate the rebuilding of the Navy and its establishment as a permanent part of the US government.
