Election of 1824
In the election of 1824, John Quincey Adams and Andrew Jackson were running for president. This election is also called "The Corrupt Bargain" because Adams and Jackson had the same number of electoral votes so they went to the House of Representatives to be elected. But Adams bribed Clay, the Speaker of the House, to get as many votes from the other representatives. Adams won because of the bribe and Clay became Secretary of State. That was the "Corrupt Bargain". -
