早在1824年,安德鲁·杰克逊是民主共和国的4个总统候选人之一。
Jackson won the most votes.
杰克逊赢得了最多的选票。
Because nobody had the majority of the electoral college votes, that meant the House Representatives got to pick the next President. And they picked John Quincy Adams.
由于没有人获得过半数的选举人票,于是最终将由众议院代表来决定谁当总统。而他们的决定是约翰·昆西·亚当斯。(Electoral college指的是总统选举团,并不是一所大学)
Jackson was so mad. He decided to start his own party.
杰克逊气疯了。于是他决定成立自己的政党。
Simply called the Democrats.

His opponents nicknamed him Andrew Jackass.
他的对手们给他起了个绰号叫安德鲁·傻驴。
But Jackson didn’t mind. In fact saw it as a badge of honor.
但是杰克逊并不介意。实际上,它觉得这就是个荣誉勋章。
He viewed donkeys as strong-will hardworkers with commitments to others, much like himself.
在他眼里,驴是意志坚定的劳模,愿意为他人现身,就和他自己一样。
The beast of burden became his maskant.
