- [Instructor] So we've been talking about

in the first half of the 19th
century in the United States

and we've been talking about
how in this time period,

the vote was slowly extended
to all white male citizens

so that by the end of
this period there were

no more property requirements
in the United States

Now those property
requirements had allowed

free people of color and
women to vote in some states

and when voting became associated
with white male citizens,

those little loopholes
ended up getting closed,

to all white male
citizens really represents

thought about who deserved to have a voice

in the political process
of the United States.

on this sort of aristocratic
republican citizenship

You wouldn't promote yourself,
that would be vulgar.

But by the 1820s, very few
Americans believed in the idea

that there could be such a
thing as too much democracy

that you would have to avoid the mob rule.

They wanted a great expansion
of democracy and that was

to them the real character
of the United States.

Now I should also mention that
this expansion of democracy

was part of a larger international
expansion of democracy.

Similar laws that eliminated
property restrictions

in England and France at this time period.

but the extension of voting
in Europe is nothing like

the extension of voting
in the United States.

There are nearly twice
as many eligible voters

in the United States in the
1830s as there are in Britain

So while European nations
are taking small steps

the United States is taking
huge steps in this time period.

So the first election where
we start to see the influence

of this new wave of voters
is in the election of 1824

and let me give us a little bit more space

Andrew Jackson, famous war
hero from the War of 1812,

who will become known
as the great compromiser

for having pretty much spent
his entire political career

or putting together
some kind of compromise.

Now, John Quincy Adams I
think kind of epitomized

He was reticent to
campaign on his own behalf.

So you can see how confusing
this might as been as a voter

to have three different
candidates from the same party

and they're supposed to be
different than each other.

So in this election, Andrew
Jackson wins the popular vote

and John Quincy Adams
wins the electoral vote

Now in a situation like
this, who got to be president

was decided by the House
of Representatives.

but he is in a position
to make quite an impact

So Clay and Adams meet and
Henry Clay says, "Yeah John Q.,

"I'll see if I can get the
House to vote for you,"

So the House elects John
Quincy Adams president

which was quite a plum
of a political position

and Andrew Jackson and his
supporters go ballistic.

in which John Quincy
Adams bribed Henry Clay
