 * John Quincy Adams had one domestic issue during his Presidency which was the [|Erie Canal] . He tried to accomplish many other things, but he failed at most of them. The Erie Canal connects Lake Erie to the Hudson River so the settlers west of the Appalachian Mountains could get goods and produce in a cheap way. It was first made four feet deep , 40 feet wide , and could float boats that carried 30 tons of freight. Over the years, they opened the Erie Canal up and it is now 120 to 200 feet wide and can float boats that carry 3,000 tons of freight. In addition, Henry Clay proposed the idea of a national marketplace. It would allow the North and South to trade and exchange with each other. John Quincy Adams liked this idea and took it to Congress to propose the idea of opening up and constructing roads, canals, educational institutes, etc. The Congress did not approve of this idea and it never became a law. Another thing John Quincy Adams tried to accomplish, was the [|Tariff of Abominations] . It was meant for industries and businesses in the Northern parts of the United States. The Tariff of Abominations was a tax on imported goods to keep industries from going out of business from low-priced goods. Eventually, it backfired and it caused higher prices on goods, and nobody liked John Quincy Adams as a President anymore. **

**The [|election of 1824] was between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson had the popular vote and was winning by a lot compared to John Quincy Adams. Henry Clay, though, swayed the vote of the House of Representatives to vote for Adams because they had the same view in politics. The House of Representatives did vote for John Quincy Adams and he won because he had more electoral votes, not because more people liked him. In fact, nobody really wanted him to become President.**


 * John Quincy Adams’s cabinet was made up of [|John C. Calhoun] as Vice President, [|Henry Clay] as Secretary of State, [|Richard Rush] as Secretary of Treasury, [|James Barbour] and [|Peter B. Porter] as Secretary of War, [|William Wirt] as Attorney General, and [|Samuel L. Southard] as Secretary of Navy. John C. Calhoun always spoke his mind, but was constantly changing sides. He never seemed to stay with one group. Adams’s cabinet was made up of people who had tons of experience in their field of work. He liked to have that extra backup of people with experience in their occupation in case he did not know what he was doing, or he needed some help with his decisions. John Quincy Adams seemed to not know what he was doing and would just pick people that had done this jo **** b before, and he thought they did good at it. For example, William Wirt was Attorney General f **** or 12 years and Samuel L. Southard was James Monroe’s Secretary of Navy right before John Quincy Adams Presidency. **
