Detailed explanation-1: -Jackson dominated in the South and the West, aided in part by the passage of the Tariff of 1828. With the ongoing expansion of the right to vote to most white men, the election marked a dramatic expansion of the electorate, with 9.5% of Americans casting a vote for president, compared with 3.4% in 1824.
Detailed explanation-2: -The campaign was marked by large amounts of nasty “mudslinging.” Jackson’s marriage, for example, came in for vicious attack. When Jackson married his wife Rachel in 1791, the couple believed that she was divorced, however the divorce was not yet finalized, so he had to remarry her once the legal papers were complete.
Detailed explanation-3: -Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828, defeating incumbent John Quincy Adams.
