What was bad about Andrew Jackson's personal life?

Answer 1

Prior to being inaugurated in 1829, Andrew Jackson's wife Rachel Jackson died. He claimed that the stress brought about her death; the story behind Rachel Jackson was that she was married when she & Andrew fell in love. She was therefore "illegitimate" & Jackson's opponents used this against them in the Election of 1828. Another problem that he faced was the discontentment from the rival party. Jackson and his "Jacksonian" Democrats had radical ideas & remember that he is essentially the Father of the Modern Democratic Party.

Answer 2

Jackson had no known bad personal habits. He did tend to carry a grudge if he felt he had been wronged. His beloved wife died just before he took office. Later, he had a dispute with his nephew and his wife who lived with him in the White House and they left and went back to Tennessee. His adopted son and heir could not manage money and was generally a disappointment.
