John Calhoun and Andrew Jackson were staunch political foes. The situation was made worse when Calhoun persuaded South Carolina to nullify tariffs set in place by the Jackson administration in 1828 and 1832. Jackson petitioned Congress and won the right to use federal forces to enforce federal law, and anchored wars ships off the Charleston coast.
Peggy Eaton Controversy
Webster-Hayne debate
the personal feud between Jackson and calhoun
Jackson and Calhoun disagreed about several issues, including tariffs and nullification. In 1818, Jackson learned of documents Calhoun wrote urging censure of Jackson for his invasion of Florida and the capture of Pensacola during the First Seminole War. That was the "last straw" for Jackson. He cut off Calhoun and removed Calhoun's allies from the cabinet.
No, but John C. Calhoun was Andrew Jackson's vice president whan Jackson was President. Unfortunately, John C. Calhoun seceded because Andrew Jackson and him had different views about the law.
Andrew Jackson hated John C. Calhoun. Jackson famously said that not executing Calhoun was one of his life's biggest regrets.
Jackson and Calhoun were doomed to split, as Calhoun tried to have Jackson arrested in 1819 in the Florida invasion, then lied about it for years to Jackson. The Peggy Eaton situation exacerbated the situation, as Calhoun's wife Floride was entirely opposed to the entrance of Peggy into society and began the social war that led to the firing of Jackson's cabinet and the secretary of war chasing the secretary of the treasury with loaded weapons and intent to kill. When in the middle of the petticoat affair, when Jackson was already upset with Calhoun for his opposition to Peggy's place in society, Jackson was informed that Calhoun had lied about Florida, Jackson split with Calhoun completely.
