Andrew Jackson Part IV: The Corrupt Bargain

This is the fourth in a series of eight episodes regarding America's seventh President, Andrew Jackson. Having "saved" the nation at New Orleans, Jackson parlays his newfound hero-status into the territorial governorship of Florida, a seat in the Senate representing Tennessee, and a candidate in the 1824 election to replace James Monroe. But with victory in his grasp, John Quincy Adams, with the aid of two of America's 'monsters,' John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay, conspire to play kingmaker in what would become known (in Jackson's circles) as the Corrupt Bargain.
