How did the Peggy eaton affair contributr to the calhoun-Jackson split?

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. If you want to read a well documented historical novel on the Petticoat Affair, see "The Breath of Suspicion" on Kindle.

What proportion of native Americans population died from Andrew Jackson?

Andrew Jackson did not personally kill many Indians . He was the commander of an army that fought Indians and killed maybe 2000 . He left office before the Trail of Tears took place and it was not the result of a presidential directive but rather an act of Congress. There were about 300,000 Indians in 1830, so you say that 2000 died from Andrew Jackson, that is 0.067%.
