JQA was so unpopular his own vice president became Jackson's running mate in the next election. Jackson was essentially cheated out of the presidency because he had tied Crawford in electoral votes and won the popular vote (Adams came in third in both), yet the Speaker of the House Henry Clay struck a deal with Adams to make him president instead. Adams is clearly the villain.

Jackson didn't tie Crawford for electoral votes, he just didn't get a majority. Also, Adams was second in both the popular vote and the electoral vote. He was not behind Crawford in any sense. The contingent House election is right there in the Constitution and was inevitable in a four-way sectional race. Nothing illegal was ever found to be done in the "Corrupt Bargain". As the Speaker of the House, it was was well within Clay's rights and not unusual for him to influence his followers how to vote. This was no different than the sort of backdoor deals made in every nominating convention of the 19th century. Also, Jackson killed men in duels, ethnically cleansed the Cherokee by ignoring the Supreme Court, largely contributed to the Panic of 1837, and committed numerous war crimes throughout his life. Jackson is clearly the villain.

Andrew Jackson killed a man. It even has it as an interesting fact. Plus, manifest destiny was a crime.

I think the reason why the rating is so low relates to its difficulty. From my experiences, people tend to give a lower rating to quizzes which they do poorly on, however if the quiz has a good concept/map (i.e. IAB's subdivision quizzes), they'll still give a high rating. But I'm not 100% sure if it applies to this quiz, given the fact that GeoPhilia's 'save humanity' quizzes have high ratings.

Generally, people give quizzes low rating because a) they do poorly on it or b) it has something they don't like, for example, Cyprus is in europers might give the Which continent is Cyprus in lower ratings.

I don't think that there is really anything you can do about it.

I think the quiz would be better if you would use the Lime Green Party and the Perriwinkle Party instead of making it a partisan quiz. Also, seeing that you might want it featured some day, I think that might be a bit of a problem, because the Quizmaster doesn't approve of partisan content.

Missouri and Virginia are as they were at the time, and actually this map is an adaptation of the official U.S. map. I didn't think people would mind supporting politicians that were from so long ago, but I'll consider changing it to Lime Green and Periwinkle. Thanks for your answer.

Oh no, I did not think that there was a mistake with your depiction of MO and VI, I meant, that if you were to use the jetpunk US map, you would have to change the states there, to represent the correct time, which on the current map, is displayed. My suggestions in the second comment were purely of aesthetic nature.

Another thought. Maybe you could use the new US map, where many borders are vertical lines, and therein remove the new states and fix Missouri and Virginia.
