After the American Revolution, America was born. For a newly born nation, many issues of conflict remained regarding government, politics, etc.; which lead to clashes and disagreements between people and parties. In the era of 1820, history records the confrontation between Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay on many important issues. We could clearly see their differences through the elections of 1824, 1828 and the Banking War. Both Jackson and Clay ran for president in 1824, also there were John Quincy Adams, William H. Crawford, and John c. Calhoun. In the end, Jackson or Clay won the election. However, Jackson was the person who won the most popular and electoral votes1, but he did not win the majority of electoral votes. Under the Twelfth Amendment, the election would be decided by the House of Representatives if no candidate received a majority. At the final, John Quincy Adams became president with the help of Clay and his supporters. The 1824 election was the only one in which the candidate who received the greatest number of electoral and popular votes did not become president. After the election, the Jacksonians “turned much of their fury against Clay,”2 and the reason for choosing Adam was later explained by Clay. He explained that "I have searched my conscience as to what I should do, and that faithful guide tells me I should vote for Mr. Adams."2 Immediately after Clay's explanation, in the letter to Samuel, Jackson dramatically expressed his dissatisfied for Clay's decision “Mr. Clay never risked himself for his country, sacrificed his rest, or made an effort to repel an invading enemy. It was different from the last one and… half of the document… a large number of the shareholders at that time were British; warned of the dangers of letting foreigners control “a key national resource.” 13-82 Furthermore, Jackson reported that most of the stockholders came from Northern countries, and most of the loans came from the West and South. Above all, Jackson emphasized that the bank favored “a privileged few”14 and it was unfair when a small number of wealthy people who benefited from the spending of others “that Jackson saw growing around him came from private individuals who had earned more from the government than they should."15-82 In the end, the veto "was a splendid popular success," and helped Jackson win the 1832 election again.
