Henry clay dropped out and starts to support john adams: corrupt bargain - rumor that a corrupt bargain went on between henry clay and john adams, and it was told by andrew jackson and his supporters. Henry and adams thought alike, so a bargain would make sense: house did vote adams, jackson feels burned, adams has an unsuccessful presidency, the political scene at this time is messed up - everyone is disagreeing. This shapes up the 1828 election - jackson is angry: election of 1828: after a while, jackson decides he"s going to run for president.
