[EAN: 9780700621309], Nieuw boek, [SC: 23.81], [PU: University Press of Kansas, Lawrence], PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, UNITED STATES PRESIDENTS, DONALD RATCLIFFE, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, ANDREW JACKSON, 1824, HENRY CLAY, C. CALHOUN, AND WILLIAM H. CRAWFORD, Jacket, 368 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. New book. UNITED STATES PRESIDENTS. The election of 1824 is commonly viewed as a mildly interesting contest involving several colorful personalitiesÑJohn Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and William H. CrawfordÑthat established Old Hickory as the people's choice and yet, through "bargain and corruption," deprived him of the presidency. In The One-Party Presidential Contest, Donald Ratcliffe reveals that Jackson was not the most popular candidate and the corrupt bargaining was a myth. The election saw the final disruption of both the dominant Democratic Republican Party and the dying Federalist Party, and the creation of new political formations that would slowly evolve into the Democratic and National Republicans (later Whig) PartiesÑthus bringing about arguably the greatest voter realignment in US history. Bringing to bear over 35 years of research, Ratcliffe describes how loyal Democratic Republicans tried to control the election but failed, as five of their party colleagues persisted in competing, in novel ways, until the contest had to be decided in the House of Representatives. Initially a struggle between personalities, the election evolved into a fight to control future policy, with large consequences for future presidential politics. The One-Party Presidential Contest offers a nuanced account of the proceedings, one that balances the undisciplined conflict of personal ambitions with the issues, principles, and prejudices that swirled around the election. In this book we clearly see, perhaps for the first time, how the election of 1824 revealed fracture lines within the young republicÑand created others that would forever change the course of American politics. Donald Ratcliffe is Emeritus Reader in History at the University of Durham and Supernumerary Research and Teaching Fellow at the Rothermere American Institute, University of Oxford. His many publications include Party Spirit in a Frontier Republic: Democratic Politics in Ohio, 1793-1821 and The Politics of Long Division: The Birth of the Second Party System in Ohio, 1818-1828. "This fine book provides a detailed overview of the election of 1824, when the reigning Democratic-Republican coalition collapsed into a complex race for the presidency. His analysis should force historians to rethink long-held assumptions about the rise of American democracy."ÑRegister of the Kentucky Historical Society "Ratcliffe explains the election of 1824 within the context of the politics of the early 1820s, a period often overlooked by historians, when the country was dealing with the aftermath of the Missouri Compromise and recovering from economic crisis."ÑJournal of Southern History (Key Words: Presidential Elections, United States Presidents, Donald Ratcliffe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, 1824, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and William H. Crawford).<
