The Tenth Presidential Election was held between October 26th to December 2nd, 1824. The Presidential Election was the first after the Portland Affair, leaning heavily into Republican support under the new President Henry Clay. Combined with these efforts and the far off secession affair, Clay was soaring high into the election.
==Candidates==
===Republican Party===
The Republican Party was unified in their selection of incumbent Henry Clay, having no other prominent politicians vying for the position. Clay lined up the renomination of his Vice President Thomas B. Adams over a popular contender John Tremble II of the Liberal Democratic Party. 
===Democratic Party===
The Democratic Party had been devastated by the prior Portland Affair, and with a major drop in support came a huge power gap. Several Candidates were considered for the Democrats, including: veteran Samuel Beardsley of New York, Governor Herald Banks of North Carolina, Senator Thomas H. Benton of Missouri, former Vice President William H. Crawford of Georgia, and Representative Martin Van Buren of New York. In the end they chose Samuel Beardsley as he was very popular amongst party members, they selected Thomas H. Benton as his running mate.
===Bucktail Organization===
Newly formed, the Bucktail Organization looked to pop up an alternative to the Republican and Democratic Parties. The Bucktails were very much a regional mixture of both parties best ideals, and served as a third party to provide an alternative. The Party chose regional candidate Sam Houston for President, who was a Tennessee Representative who had made a major splash. For Vice President they chose the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and Missouri Senator Thomas H. Benton.
===American National Party===
The American National Party also nominated their first Presidential Candidate, choosing Chairman Bill Pompeius of Georgia. For Vice President they chose former United American Restoration League member and Representative John F. Fitzgerald.
==Results==
The election was won handedly by incumbent President Clay, though despite loosing, Samuel Beardsley gained major support from his loss, rising to heights even higher then in this election.
