This particular ad is in support of the Jackson campaign, it uses a deference to authority of Jefferson in an attempt to show that Jackson would be a good leader for the future of the United States. It is most notable for differing from often how dire and angry the election of 1828 often became, with this ad simply being one to show support for Jackson rather than belittling Adams, this is drawn from our reading in the American Yawp, which speaks to 1828 as among the most angry and attack driven elections of its day.

Great points, Cadence! It's wild to see how negative and personal those campaigns got back then. You’re totally right that those violent, emotional images were a calculated move to whip up voters. It really brings home what we read in the American Yawp about just how intense the election of 1828 really was. Thanks for sharing!

This ad is showing Andrew Jackson and it's supporting him to be president. It has his picture in the middle with an eagle and American flags around him. It also has the names George H. Steuart and John V. L. McMahon so I think it's supporting them too. I believe the ad is trying to tell people that Jackson is the best person to vote for. This ad would of worked pretty good back then because a lot of people already liked Jackson for being a war hero. The pictures and the words make him look like someone people could trust. I think this ties well to chapter 9 The American Yawp because it talks about how the Election of 1828 had way more campaigning than before. They used posters, newspapers, and rallies to get people to vote. Since more white men could vote, ads like this probably got a lot of people's attention and helped Jackson get more support.

While it is true that this ad shows support for Jackson, it also specifically is meant to mock Quincy's Words, as seen in the quote below the comic, and meant to show John Quincy as someone weak and exaggerated.

The ad depicts Andrew Jackson brutally killing who the ad calls Samuel Jackson with a sword. Based on the time period It appears that this add was posted by the Quincy Adams campaign against Andrew Jackson. I believe the ad would work unless a reader did not believe the allegations against Jackson. In chapter 9 section 3 of the American Yawp they even mention that some of his supports accused him of murder so it's likely the ad would have worked for many people.

This is Symptoms of a Locked Jaw, created by David Claypoole during the Jackson and Clay election. It depicts Andrew Jackson sitting in a chair with a navy uniform while a determined Clay sews his mouth shut, with the caption “Might stop a hole, to keep the Wind Away”. This campaign is a political endorsement for Henry Clay, showcasing Clay’s righteous anger and determination to stop Andrew from yapping his “Wind Hole” as the cartoon shows. As one of Jackson’s major rivals and oppositions, Clay sought to end Jackson’s reign of careless tyranny and often worked against Jackson, even after after being elected to his cabinet and voting for him in Jackson’s initial election. Nonetheless, as for the effectiveness, usually such a campaign would be ineffective, even violent to the American People. But with how often Andrew sought to make careless decisions and run his mouth foully amok, I can see how this particular cartoon might have been impactful to the American Citizens of the time

This ad shows Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams. It is in support of Andrew Jackson by trying to show that John Quincy Adams is not a good leader. I feel like this ad shows how negative both sides got during the election of 1828. Both candidates would use personal attacks and violent ads to get the attention of the people. In the American Yawp, it even states that this was the direst presidential election. I do think the ad would be effective in the 1820s because it was simple with a big emotional message.

After watching "War and Politics in the Early 1800s" part 1 and looking at the 1828 election ads make TWO posts:

ONE: Choose one of the political ads and create a post including:

-         A screenshot of your chosen ad

-         Who you believe the ad shows and who it supports

-         What you believe the ad is trying to say about the election of 1828

-         How effective you think the ad would be to the voters of the 1820s

-         Be sure to include some piece of evidence from the textbook or lecture

(Each cartoon may be used by only one group member)

TWO: Make a substantive reply to another group member’s post. You may agree, disagree or expand on what they say. Like all posts, however, remember to tie it directly to evidence from the documents.

Be sure to put your name in the title of both of your posts!
