John Adams's rivalry against Thomas Jefferson was what led him to run for president
At the time, Neither Andrew Jackson or John Quincy Adams had enough votes in the electoral college to become President. The vote then went to the House of Representatives, which was led by Henry Clay. Clay detested Andrew Jackson and worked a deal to put Adams in the White House, if Clay was appointed Secretary of State. It was called the 'corrupt bargain.' John Quincy Adams was named President.

In the United States presidential election of 1824, John Quincy Adams was elected President on February 9, 1825, after the election was decided by the House of Representatives. The previous few years had seen a one-party government in the United States, as the Federalist Party had dissolved, leaving only the Democratic-Republican Party. In this election, the Democratic-Republican Party splintered as four separate candidates sought the presidency. Such splintering had not yet led to formal party organization, but later the faction led by Andrew Jackson would evolve into the Democratic Party, while the factions led by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay would become the National Republican Party and later the Whig Party.
