Jackson won the popular vote in 1824 but lost out in House. Therefore his supporters campaigned seriously for him during the next 4 years. He was a frontiersman from the West, an Indian fighter ,hero of the War of 1812 and was altogether a colorful personality with a striking appearance. His opponent J. Quincy Adams was old school, rather stolid , had never been in the military was not impressive physically. Jackson's running mate, Calhoun helped him carry the South.
