Who was Peggy Eaton?

Margaret O'Neale Eaton ( 3 December 1799 - 8 November 1879), better known as Peggy Eaton, was the daughter of the keeper of a popular Washington, D.C. tavern, and was noted for her beauty, wit and vivacity and her central role in the Petticoat Affair that disrupted the cabinet of Andrew Jackson. She is often referred to as "The (First) First Mistress." About 1823, she married a purser in the United States Navy, John B. Timberlake, who committed suicide while on service in the Mediterranean in 1828. In the following year she married John Henry Eaton (1790-1856), a Tennessee politician, at the time a member of the United States Senate. Senator Eaton was a close personal friend of President Andrew Jackson, who in 1829 appointed him Secretary of War. This sudden elevation of Mrs. Eaton into the cabinet social circle was resented by the wives of several of Jackson's secretaries, and charges were made against her of improper sexual conduct with Eaton previous to her marriage to him. The refusal of the wives of the cabinet members to recognize the wife of his friend angered President Jackson, and he tried in vain to coerce them. Eventually, and partly for this reason, he almost completely reorganized his cabinet. The effect of the incident on the political fortunes of the vice-president, John C. Calhoun, whose wife, Floride Calhoun, was one of the recalcitrants, was perhaps most important. Partly on this account, Jackson's favor was transferred from Calhoun to Martin Van Buren, the Secretary of State, who had taken Jackson's side in the quarrel and had shown marked attention to Mrs. Eaton, and whose subsequent elevation to the vice-presidency and presidency through Jackson's favor is no doubt partly attributable to this incident. After the death of her husband she married a young Italian dancing-master, Antonio Buchignani on June 7, 1859. She was 59 and he was in his twenties. In their seventh year of marriage, 1866, Buchignani ran off with the bulk of her money and her granddaughter. She obtained a divorce from him and died in poverty in Washington D.C. on 8 November 1879.
The Peggy Eaton affair was a scandal that occurred during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. It revolved around the alleged affair between Senator John Henry Eaton and Margaret Timberlake. It is also commonly referred to as the Petticoat affair.

What factories helped Jackson win the presidency in 1828?

Andrew Jackson's victory in the 1828 presidential election was significantly aided by his support from various sectors, particularly the growing working-class and agrarian populations. Factories in the North, especially textile mills, played a role by drawing in workers who favored Jackson's populist message and opposition to elite political interests. Additionally, the expansion of the franchise to more white males in this period meant that Jackson could tap into a broader base of support, including those employed in emerging industrial sectors. His appeal to the common man resonated with these groups, helping him secure the presidency.

Is it a good idea for a 13-year-old to make out with her 16-year-old boyfriend?

No, you are far too young. No matter how much you dislike people telling you that it's the truth. First off your boyfriend could be charged with "Statutory Rape" even though he is still a minor, but you are still a much younger minor. Please think this over. Even if you are unhappy at home, or you think you're grown up, having a boyfriend can only lead to disaster. Sooner or later your boyfriend will want to do more than hold hands and, if you have a sexual relationship with him you could become pregnant. The statistics of the biological father hanging around to help support that child is extremely low. So, there you are with a little baby (a baby yourself) while all your friends are out having the time of their lives. You could well ruin your whole life because hon, you haven't lived much of life at all. There is so much for you to see and do and a whole lot of time to settle down to a boyfriend and marriage. Marcy NO, Do you want to be a mother at 13? And lose out on your childhood? Does your parents know about this the only thing a 16 year old boy is looking for is sex its their mentality at this age he'll tell you anything to get in your pants and you best be glad you are not my daughter!! Because I do have a 12 year old daughter and I would hurt her and she knows this.. this is the reason why their are so many teen mothers not enough parents paying attention,, Do not ruin your life. Wait and save your self be a kid, then go to college make something of yourself then worry about boys or you may never become anything Angie mother of 3

How did Jackson propose to solve the problem of native American in the southeast?

As people began to move west they wanted the Native American lands, so the act made it official that the tribes were to be removed. From the very moment of the first colony the European settlers did their best to kill, remove, or displace the Native tribes from their lands. The government made treaties they broke and they forcibly removed people to reservations. The Union army would go into a sleeping village early in the morning and kill men, women, and children. The government policy was a " good Indian was a dead one" and they would do anything to accomplish this task. Read Black Elk Speaks or Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee for further understanding of the genocide that was committed.

What did Andrew Jackson think favored the wealthy?

Most of the government favored the wealthy and the privileged, but Jackson especially singled out the Bank of the US which in those days made loans to individuals. All government funds were deposited in the bank, so it had a lot of money to loan out. The bank not only favored the wealthy friends of its president with its loans, but influenced Congressmen by making them loans with favorable terms, essentially bribing them. He believed with some good evidence that John Q. Adams won the presidency over him in 1824 because of the influence of the bank over the House of Representatives.,
