Sanders, Lewis, Jr.
Biographical notes:
Even as early as 1828, the political battle lines were being drawn for the 1832 presidential elections. Bad blood had developed between the factions after the 1824 and 1828 election, and there was much concern about the 1832 presidential election. Since the 1824 presidential election was decided in the House of Representatives, it was an important concern as to who was elected to Congress from each district. On August 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 1829, a Congressional election was held in Kentucky. Jacob Oglesby, a Jacksonian Democrat, was elected from Oldham County. The supporters of Andrew Jackson were known as Democrats and the supporters of John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay were known as National Republicans.
