改變政黨政治
Changing Party Politics
安德魯傑克森的就任總統，代表了美國政黨政治的新頁，傑克森在1824年參與總統競選，較其他三位候選人贏得更多選舉團（Electoral College）人的支持，但他卻未贏得絕對多數（過半數）選舉團人的支持，因而未能直接當選總統。
因此眾議院此時必須做出決策，他們的選擇是約翰昆西亞當斯擔任第六屆總統一職。傑克森在1828年再次參選、其競選宣言贏得更多一般選民的支持。您知道傑克森的成長背景對他的總統之路有什麼影響嗎？
Andrew Jackson's presidency represented a new chapter in American party politics. Jackson initially ran for president in 1824, and he won more Electoral College votes than the other three candidates. He did not, however, win a majority (more than half) of the Electoral College votes needed to become president.
This meant that the House of Representatives would decide, and they chose John Quincy Adams as the sixth president. Not one to give up, Jackson defeated Adams in 1828, following a bitter campaign with more participation than ever by ordinary people. Do you know how Jackson's background affected his presidency?
