Exactly right, although many looked at Jackson as a murder for some of his wr atrocities, many more would see him as a war hero especially after the war of 1812, because of this he would go on to become the president of the United States.

This ad displays a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, who was revered as a national hero in the hearts of the American people. The Jackson ticket at the top shows that this ad was in favor of showing of and showing the nature of Andrew Jackson. The ad tries to link a connection between Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson, the quote here also helps to show that just like Jefferson, Jackson has also served his country as a patriot. The connection to Jacksons military background and to the quote help bolster Jacksons role in the election of 1828. This ad would have and probably did fill the hearts of the American people with patriotism and would further help Andrew Jacksons reputation as well.

Hello Maxwell, I like how u explained your ad how your ad is in favor of Andrew Jackson reminding the people about his victories. I agree with you on how effective this would be in the 1820's considering that it is always going to be elections that will make it very important to grab attention.

Who you believe the ad shows and who it is in support of?

I believe this ad shows two men one hanging and the other one pulling him up to hang him and how consequences were back in the 18oo's. I am not sure on who I think they are at all. I believe it is in the support of slavery.

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

I believe it is trying to say that even if we vote will still get treated the same way.

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

This would be effective to the voters in 1820 because they would be able to vote for what is right.

I really liked how you interpreted the political cartoon, Maxwell! I completely agree with what you are talking about, and the one thing that stood out to me was the bold letters that were put in the campaign. Using words like "The Man of The People!", "Jackson Forever", and "Presidency" help the poster stand out to people that are passing by. And with Jackson's past military experience, he was already well known around the country. With Adams just trying to prove why Jackson shouldn't be the president, he didn't prove himself worthy of the role, so Andrew Jackson won easily. Great response, Maxwell!

<- Seeing the drawing as Jackson willing to "run through the body of anyone who gets in his way" is a pretty neat interpretation. While a big portion of the campaign ads did attack the other candidate, with the ads we have been given as a source Adams did not have any that tell the people why they should vote for him, rather than just to not vote for Jackson. This and Jackson's background definitely helped him win the presidency.

This is an ad in favor of Andrew Jackson reminding the people of his victories in war and his dignity in the elections. It tells the people that the last election was lost because Jackson could not "Barter nor Bargain" for it, going further it also states he values "The purity of the elections and the electors more than the office of presidency itself" both quotes making jabs at Adams referencing the corrupt bargain. I think this ad would be very effective in the 1820s not only for the contents of the ad, which tell how important the power of the people is, but also the composition of the ad, it can be read from far away due to the large attention-grabbing words which give more or less the same message.

Ian Great Post! I think you did a great job at explaining the ad. I agree with your points about how heated this debate was and Adam's goal with this ad was to try and convince America that Jackson was a murderer and not a good president. It backfired on him in the end and America saw Jackson as a hero rather than a villain for decisions.

This ad shows Andrew Jackson holding down Samuel Jackson as he is about to stab him in the back with his sword. I believe this ad was made to portray a scene where Andrew Jackson is seen as a person who is willing to "run through the body of anyone who may stand in his way", even if it his own family. This ad was made to support John Quincy Adams. This ad is showing how dirty the election got between Jackson and Adams in 1812. Both men had a strong focus on trying to make the other look bad. "In 1828, Adams and Jackson squared off in one of the dirtiest presidential elections known to date. Pro-Jackson partisans accused Adams of elitism... Adams supporters on the other hand, accused Jackson of murder and attacked the morality of his marriage" (American Yawp Section IV). The main focus of this election was to make the other party look bad in any way possible. I think this ad does a good job of doing just that. It is accusing Jackson of being a man with no morals and as someone who is willing to take down anyone. This ad would do a very good job of persuading voters because at the very end of the ad it asks the questions "Gentle readers, do you think a man who is willing to do this is fit to be the president?". It not only is attacking Jackson but also asks the readers if they think someone like this should have power within their country.

This political ad is called "Coffin Handbills", and it shows many coffins around the paper that signify Andrew Jackson executing innocent military men. There are also coffins closer to the bottom that portray the many Native Americans that the Andrew Jackson Administration killed. "Pro-Jackson partisans accused Adams of elitism and claimed that while serving in Russia as a diplomat, he had offered the Russian emperor an American prostitute. Adams’s supporters, on the other hand, accused Jackson of murder and attacked the morality of his marriage..."(American Yawp Section IV). This political ad shows the heated debate that the candidates of John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson had during the election of 1828. There were many harsh views that Jackson had during his life that led to him killing many innocent people. So, Adams tried to put his downsides into the public to show

America how bad he was. Unfortunately, these tactics used by Adams's party were of no use. Jackson's military presence during the war of 1812 made him a hero for most of America, so he won the election by a hefty margin.

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!
