With only one major party on the ballot, and four candidates splitting up the vote, what could possibly go wrong? Tune in for a breakdown of how this election led to new political parties, campaign tactics, the inevitability of Andrew Jackson, and why we don’t think the “corrupt bargain” was all that corrupt.
