The Union party ran Jackson with Barbour as veteran members of the Clark party had never forgiven Van Buren for serving as William Crawford's campaign manager in the 1824 presidential election. Troup papers also weren't enthusiastic about Van Buren but feared that splitting the vote could lead to John Sergeant becoming vice president. Background The first political divisions in the state fell along the lines of personal support for outstanding leaders in their struggle for power. Many of these factions were usually held together through personal friendships and family associations. The two factions in the previous election were the Clark faction, followers of Ex-Governor John Clark, and the Troup faction, followers of Ex-Governor George Troup.Murray Paul Party Organization in Georgia Politics 1825–1853 https://www.jstor.org/stable/40576991 The Georgia Historical Quarterly 1945 29 4 195–196 40576991 Following losses to the Troup party, coupled with Clark's departure from Georgia to serve as a federal Indian agent and "Keeper of the Public Forests" in Florida, the Clark party entered a period of decline. It was proposed that the Clark party change its name to the Union party, a suggestion that was informally approved by the rank and tile of Clarke's former colleagues, and the name of the old champion gradually lost its usage.Phillips Ulrich Bonnell 1902 Georgia and state rights: A study of the political history of Georgia from the Revolution to the Civil War, with particular regard to federal relations Washington, Government Printing Office https://archive.org/details/georgiastaterigh00phil/page/1/mode/2up 112John Clark https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/government-politics/john-clark-1766-1832/ 2024-11-29 New Georgia Encyclopedia en-US By 1832 there was growing support among members of the Troup party and some members of the union party for Nullification. Despite this, both sides felt it was best to renominate Andrew Jackson for the presidency. They did not agree on, however, who should be the running mate. The Troup party preferred to support Jackson's official running mate even though they weren't enthusastic about him, fearing that splitting the vote could lead to John Sergeant becoming vice president. In contrast, veteran members of the Clark party couldn't support Martin Van Buren as they had never forgiven him for serving as William Crawford's campaign manager in the 1824 presidential election. Instead, they supported James Barbour. Publicly, the Union paper Federal Union accused Van Buren of supporting the protective tariff among other things.Lamplugh George R.
