About this Item
17pp. Gathered signatures, stitched. Minor toning and foxing. Very good. Untrimmed and unopened. A staunchly pro-Jackson pamphlet published during the fiery 1828 presidential campaign. A states-rights, strict-constructionist Virginian, William Branch Giles had staunchly supported Jefferson and his administration. This pamphlet relates to Jefferson's attitude toward John Quincy Adams. The author, Giles, was angered after Thomas Jefferson's executor published correspondence that suggested that Jefferson viewed favorably Quincy Adams' conduct in the final years of his presidency. In this pamphlet, he writes of his resentment at the publication of the correspondence, which he views as improper, and asserts that Quincy Adams really has no merits to praise. Giles also argues that Jefferson never really liked Quincy Adams, that Quincy Adams' hospitable attitude towards the national government is wrong- headed, and that Andrew Jackson should replace the incumbent president in the White House.
