There was a flap over the wife of Jackson's Secretary of War, She had been a been a bar-maid and was not considered to be a lady by Mrs Calhoun, who refused to socialize with her. Calhoun also hated the federal tariffs and claimed the right of a state to nullify Federal Laws that it found unacceptable. Jackson did not agree that a state had such a right.

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.
