During the 1828 presidential campaign, John Quincy Adams referred to Andrew Jackson's wife, Rachel, as a "bigamist" and accused her of being an "adulteress." This derogatory accusation stemmed from the controversial circumstances surrounding her marriage to Jackson, as she had married him before her divorce from her first husband was finalized. The personal attacks during the campaign were part of a bitter rivalry between the two candidates. Ultimately, these remarks deeply affected Jackson and his supporters, leading to intensified campaigning on his behalf.
