The election was between two long-time political rivals, then-Governor George Troup (Democratic-Republican and later Jacksonian Democrat) and independence war hero John Clark (Democratic-Republican). Ultimately, Troup emerged victorious by a narrow margin in the election, thanks in part by the recent signing of the Treaty of Indian Springs.
