I would have to agree to what you said in you post as I believe the same that it depicts Andrew Jackson conveying power. It aligns with the absolute and violent attitude that Jackson shows and serves as a realistic deterrent as Jackson was known to execute people.

REPLY TO HANGING:

I had the same thought about the effectiveness of this ad because hanging wasn't uncommon. If we saw this ad in a political event today, I feel it would be a COMPLETELY different outcome.

I agree that this makes Andrew Jackson look rash and impulsive. Additionally, Jackson survived 3 duels and a shootout, but I think that this ad is targeted to younger males, (as the Youth of America erected this monument) possibly they may nor may not be able to vote (do they own property?) but when in the service, one is to do what one is commanded to do. I think that veteran soldiers would not be so repulsed by this ad.

After looking at this ad I think that it shows how violent Andrew Jackson is and supports John Q. Adams.

I think this ad was trying to make Andrew Jackson seem like a violent, unpredictable and impatient man. This was probably relying on the fact that Jackson was known as a tall, war veteran that had bad outbursts.

I think this ad would be quite effected as like I said before Jackson was known as a war veteran and known to also have violent outbursts.

I believe that this ad is FOR Andrew Jackson and against John Q. Adams.

I think the ad is trying to say something like:

“ John Q. Adams has had his 4 years and his time is done.  Death to John’s administration.  Andrew is fearless and brave and strong enough to do the job”

Since Andrew Jackson, a war hero is depicted in his war uniform, it is easy to convey the power and authority that he has.  Andrew takes no prisoners.  They are eliminated.  This is evident by the information from the lecture in which we are told he had 3 duels for his honor in his lifetime and also a shoot out.   He has an explosive temper and reacts involuntarily to a fault.

I think that the ad is saying that we need a big change and that only the brave can make that change. I think that this would be an effective ad for the time. Hanging or eliminating opponents was not uncommon as were duels for honor.

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!
