No Dynasties

says: what if Andrew Jackson had won his first race for the Presidency?
Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily

February 9th 1824,
declaring that "America shall have no dynasties", the House of
Representatives declared Andrew Jackson the winner of the presidential
election over John Quincy Adams.
Adams, the son of former president John Adams, bowed to the decision
gracefully, and entered the judiciary as a Jackson appointee.
Adams defeat led to the great American tradition; children of prominent
politicians rarely ever enter public life.
