Electoral history of John Quincy Adams

After losing the 1828 presidential election, he served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts for 17 years.

He headed the Commission that negotiated the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, which ended the War of 1812 with Great Britain.

As Secretary of State, his views about territorial expansion guided President Monroe's policies.

By contrast, Clay viewed Jackson as a dangerous demagogue, and he was unwilling to support Crawford due to the latter's health issues.

Adams had selected Richard Rush as his vice presidential running mate in the Anti-Jacksonian Party ticket.

Andrew Jackson was nominated by Jacksonian Party ticket with John C. Calhoun as his running mate.

Adams did not attend Jackson's inauguration, making him one of only four presidents who finished their terms but chose to skip the event.

He supported the rechartering of the Bank of the United States, opposed the annexation of Texas and the war with Mexico.
