Detailed explanation-1: -The Democratic Party in Georgia was hopelessly divided into two factions (Troup and Clark) at the time. Despite this, both factions nominated Jackson for President, with the election being primarily a test of the strength of these two factions-the Adams electors ran a very poor third, with just 3.21% of the vote.
Detailed explanation-2: -The campaign of 1828 was a crucial event in a period that saw the development of a two-party system akin to our modern system, presidential electioneering bearing a closer resemblance to modern political campaigning, and the strengthening of the power of the executive branch.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the election of 1828 show the growth of democracy? The election of 1828 promoted political parties and introduced mudslinging to the elections. What reason did the government give by forcing the Native Americans to relocate? The government wanted more land to advance western expansion.
Detailed explanation-4: -What key issue split the Republican Party in the 1828 presidential election? DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLICANS-supported Jackson favored states’ rights and mistrusted strong central government.
