The campaign of 1828 was unlike any other that had come before it. For the first time electors in most states were chosen by popular vote. The electorate had been expanded so that there was universal suffrage among white males. Suppose you had lived during the time period of the 1828 election. Would you have voted for Andrew Jackson?
Create an election poster supporting either Andrew Jackson or the re-election of John Quincy Adams.
Keep the following points in mind as you create your poster:
- Clearly support one candidate – either Jackson or Adams.
- Be sure you back up your position with clearly stated reasons.
- A visual drawing or painting of the candidate must be part of the poster
- Refer to Google Images for examples, but DO NOT copy and paste from there – this will result in a grade of zero.
You can create your poster in a Word document or as a PowerPoint slide
All work must be 100% original. Rubric is included and must be followed.
