Extra: Andrew Jackson was a significant figure in American history, known for his role as a military leader before becoming president and also for his populist approach to politics. He first ran for president in the 1824 election, which was a highly contested election with no candidate winning a majority of the electoral votes, leading to the decision being made by the House of Representatives, which chose John Quincy Adams. Jackson's supporters claimed that there was a "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Henry Clay. Four years later, in 1828, Jackson ran again and won the presidency with a substantial margin, campaigning as the champion of the common man. He is also known for controversial policies such as the Indian Removal Act, which led to the Trail of Tears, where Native American tribes were forcibly relocated. His presidency marked the beginning of what is known as the Jacksonian era in American politics.
