How was the outcome of the 1824 election determined and what reaction did bring?

The outcome of the 1824 U.S. presidential election was decided by the House of Representatives after no candidate received a majority of electoral votes. John Quincy Adams was chosen over Andrew Jackson, despite Jackson winning the popular and electoral votes. This decision led to accusations of a "corrupt bargain," particularly after Adams appointed Henry Clay as his Secretary of State, further fueling political divisions and paving the way for Jackson's victory in the 1828 election. The reaction was one of anger and disillusionment among Jackson's supporters, who felt the election was manipulated by political elites.
