1832
|
| 1832 was the first election in which the candidates were nominated by national nominating conventions. Democrats met in Baltimore and overwhelmingly nominated Andrew Jackson. Henry Clay was nominated by the National Republicans at their convention in Baltimore. The major issue in the campaign was Jackson's determination to eliminate the Bank of the US. Jackson had vetoed the bill reauthorizing the bank shortly before being renominated. Henry Clay decided to make the veto the major issue in the campaign, but it worked very much to in Jackson's advantage as the bank was considered a tool of the rich. Jackson won by an overwhelming margin. |
