(Please ignore #13; even with previewing, I hit "post" without realizing that it was specifically 1824 that was being referenced. D'oh.)

(On what “tickets†did Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams run against one another in 1824? You could argue entertainingly about that for a while.)

Ooh, ooh. This is actually something that has arisen in my History class. Adams was a "National Republican" and Jackson a "Democratic-Republican," the latter of which simply became Democratic.

Ooh, ooh. This is actually something that has arisen in my History class. This depends on which election you're looking at: 1820 or 1824? Because on the first, ALL the candidates were on the same ticket, but different factions. On the second, Adams was a "National Republican" and Jackson a "Democratic-Republican," the latter of which simply became Democratic.
