John Quincy Adams was an American statesman,politician,diplomat,lawyer,and diarist who served as the sixth president of the United States,from 1825 to 1829. He previously served as the eighth United States secretary of state from 1817 to 1825. During his long diplomatic and political career,Adams served as an ambassador and also as a member of the United States Congress representing Massachusetts in both chambers. He was the eldest son of John Adams,who served as the second president of the United States from 1797 to 1801,and First Lady Abigail Adams. Initially a Federalist like his father,he won election to the presidency as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party,and later,in the mid-1830s,became affiliated with the Whig Party.
The 1800 United States presidential election was the fourth quadrennial presidential election. It was held from October 31 to December 3,1800. In what is sometimes called the "Revolution of 1800",the Democratic-Republican Party candidate,Vice President Thomas Jefferson,defeated the Federalist Party candidate and incumbent,President John Adams. The election was a political realignment that ushered in a generation of Democratic-Republican leadership. This was the first presidential election in American history to be a rematch.
The 1824 United States presidential election was the tenth quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Tuesday,October 26 to Thursday,December 2,1824. Andrew Jackson,John Quincy Adams,Henry Clay and William Crawford were the primary contenders for the presidency. The result of the election was inconclusive,as no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote. In the election for vice president,John C. Calhoun was elected with a comfortable majority of the vote. Because none of the candidates for president garnered an electoral vote majority,the U.S. House of Representatives,under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment,held a contingent election. On February 9,1825,the House voted to elect John Quincy Adams as president.
The National Republican Party,also known as the Anti-Jacksonian Party or simply Republicans,was a short-lived political party in the United States that evolved from a conservative-leaning faction of the Democratic-Republican Party that supported John Quincy Adams in the 1824 presidential election.
