Chapter 13 APUSH

The Jacksonian charge that John Quincy Adams won the presidency through a corrupt bargain arose because

• A. William Crawford threw his electoral votes to Adams in exchange for a seat in the Senate 
• E. after Henry Clay threw his support to Adams, he was appointed secretary of state.
• B. members of the house of representatives claimed that they had been bribed to vote for Adams
• D. Jackson discovered that there had been vote fraud in several pro-Adams states 

What was not a factor that made John Quincy Adam's presidency a political failure?

• B. Adams's involvement with corrupt machine deals and politicians.
• A. Adam's attempts to treat Indians fairly
• C. Adam's stubborn and prickly personality 
• D. Adam's support for national roads, a national university, and an astronomical observatory 

Andrew Jackson's strong appeal to the common people arose partly because 

• many citizens were tired of the partisan fights between republicans and federalists
• farmer and labor organizations aroused populist opposition to elitist politics
• he had risen from the masses and reflected many of their prejudices in his personal attitudes and outlook
• he was skilled at appealing to the public's evangelical religion and fervent patriotism

One political development that demonstrated the power of the new popular democratic movement in politics was

• the rise of the caucus system of presidential nominations
• the use of party loyalty as the primary qualification for appointing people to public office
• extensive public speaking tours by presidential candidates
• the strong support for public schools and national university

Andrew Jackson's fundamental approach during the South Carolina nullification crisis was to

• acknowledge the injustice of the high Tariff of Abominations and seek to lower it
• seek to strengthen south carolina unionists while politically isolating the nullifiers
• join hands with Henry Clay in attempting to find a compromise solution
• mobilize a sizable military force and threaten to hang the nullifers

Under the surface of the South's strong opposition to the Tariff of Abominations was

• a desire to develop its own textile industry 
• competition between southern cotton growers and midwestern grain farmers
• a strong preference for British manufactured goods over American-produced goods.
• a fear of growing federal power that might interfere with slavery

Some southeastern Indian tribes like the Cherokees were notable for their

• effectiveness in warfare against encroaching whites
• development of effective agricultural, educational, and political institutions
• success in persuading President Jackson to support their cause
• adherence to traditional Native American cultural and religious values

In promoting his policy of Indian removal, President Andrew Jackson

• defied rulings of the U.S Supreme Court that favored the Cherokees
• admitted that the action would destroy Native American culture and society
• acted against the advice of his cabinet and his military commanders in the Southeast
• tried to split the Cherokees apart from their allies such as the Creeks and Seminoles

Jackson's veto of the Bank of the United States recharter bill represented a(n)

• response to Europeans investors' lack of faith in the dollar
• attempt to assure bankers and creditors that the federal government had their interests at heart
• concession to Henry Clay and his National Republican followers
• bold assertion of presidential power on behalf of western farmers and other debtors 

One important result of President Jackson's destruction of the Bank of the United States was

• a successful economy to hand on to his successor, Van Buren
• the lack of a stable banking system to finance the era of rapid industrialization
• the American banking system's dependence on European investment and control
• Jackson's equally successful attack on the secretive and elitist Masons
