General election

Candidates

Party labels were in flux following the splitting of the Democratic-Republican Party into groups following the 1824 presidential election. Contemporary newspapers refer to Pierce as a "friend of Andrew Jackson" and Bell as a "friend of John Quincy Adams" or "supporter of the Administration"[2] [3] [4] although others suggested Pierce had won the support of many Adams supporters.[5] [6] [7]
