  1. luckily for you i'm in ap us history, and i just studied this portion of history for the AP exam in a few weeks. well, jackson was significant in many ways. he was the first president not from Virginia and Massachusetts, and the first one with conservative principles. as for the actual election of 1828, jackson won for a few reasons: 1. The campaign was ruthless. Adams made some low-ball moves, such as insulting Jackson's wife, and some people felt that he was very corrupt by making the deal with Henry Clay. 2. Jackson was in favor of the Western pioneers, and Southern Plantation owners, which outnumbered the Northeastern factory urbanites that supported Q. Adams. 3. The people seemed to be fed up with the Federalists. John Quincy Adams was the last Federalist candidate, and the party dissolved after 1830 when they were accused of organizing an anarchical revolt. the democratic party influenced in the same way it did in 2008, the people were fed up with the federalists, and they wanted to give the new guys a chance. but it was mainly the politics of the election that influenced the outcome. good luck!
