On this day in 1828, Andrew Jackson was elected president.
I thought it would be good to put up this little piece of ephemera–related to the Connecticut push to get Jackson elected.
“The Committee-men should take it upon themselves, personally, to see that every Jackson man is at the polls.”
As was the custom at the time, neither candidate personally campaigned, but their political followers organized many campaign events. Most interesting are the notes of the political stance of Connecticut figures on the back.
