The presidential election of 1828 was a landslide victory for Andrew Jackson. It was actually much closer than most Presidential Elections have historically win because Jackson received 56% of the vote while Adams received 43%, but the United States of course elected President with the Electoral College.

The idea that there was more that could occupy God than our existence and we were not the most important creature or thing was mind blowing.
