Jackson’s Major Actions/Inactions (1829 -1837) • Ahhh, the Spoils System • Veto of the Maysville Road, 1830 • argued that federal subsidies for internal improvements that were located wholly within a single US State were unconstitutional. • Also Jackson said that he did not oppose the road but just wanted the state to build it, not the federal government. • “The Eaton Malaria, ” 1830

The Petticoat Affair (also known as the Eaton Affair or the Eaton Malaria) •

The Petticoat Affair (also known as the Eaton Affair or the Eaton Malaria) • Margaret "Peggy" O'Neale was the daughter of a Washington, D. C. boardinghouse owner and was renowned for her "vivacious" temperament who lost her first husband, sailor John Timberlake, to suicide. He was allegedly driven to it because of rumors of Peggy's love affair with Jackson's Secretary of War John Henry Eaton. • Peggy and Eaton were married shortly after Timberlake's death, throwing the respectable women of the capital into a tizzy. The anti-Peggy coalition was led by Floride Calhoun, the wife of Vice President John C. Calhoun and a phalanx of other Cabinet wives, while Martin Van Buren, the only bachelor member of the Cabient, allied himself with the Eatons. • Jackson was sympathetic to the Eatons, in part, perhaps, because his own beloved late wife, Rachel Donelson Robards had been the subject of equally nasty innuendo. (Her first marriage turned out to have not been completely dissolved prior to her wedding to Jackson. ) That said, Jackson's First Lady, Rachel's niece Emily Donelson, nonetheless sided with the Calhoun faction. • The scandal was so intense that several members of the Cabinet finally resigned, including Samuel D. Ingham and John Branch, and Van Buren was elevated to a position as Jackson's favorite (replacing Calhoun) and the de facto heir to the Democratic party. Eventually, Eaton also resigned from the cabinet. Peggy Eaton was made the "Official Hostess" under Jackson.
