Answer 1

During the 1828 campaign, John Quincy Adams was characterized as a better writer while Andrew Jackson was deemed a better fighter according to the campaign song.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the song from the 1828 campaign, John Quincy Adams was a better writer and Andrew Jackson was a better fighter. This song played into the larger narrative of the election which pitted the intellectual, aristocratic Adams against the military hero and man of the people, Jackson.
