Although the scandal was first of all a private matter, it had implications on the political career of several men.

C. a pension by the name of “Franklin House”, and who was a social center for many men politicians. Margaret had enjoyed a good education; She had studied, among others, French, and was gifted on the piano [ 2 ] . It was also assigned a vigorous temperament.

In 1816, Margaret married her first husband, John B. Timberlake, who was on -board commissioner in the United States Navy. Margaret was then 17 years old, while her husband was 39. Timberlake had had strong debts for years. Together, they had three children, one of whom died during his childhood. The couple had been friends with Senator John Eaton since 1818, while Eaton was a young widower of 28 years old who had just been elected senator. After Timberlake exposed his delicate financial situation to Eaton, the latter tried in vain to help him by creating a petition for the Senate, in order to pay the debts that Timberlake had accumulated during his work at the US Navy. While he left for a 4 -year trip aboard the USS Constitution , Timberlake succumbed to pneumonia in 1828. However, there was doubts about this death, a common rumor that he could commit suicide [ 2 ] . Second marriage to John Eaton [ modifier | Modifier and code ]  With the blessing of President Andrew Jackson, who both appreciated them, Peggy Timberlake and Eaton married shortly after the death of Timberlake (even if the social conventions of the time would have wanted them to wait a little longer). This marriage scandalized the good company of Washington D. C., especially women. Florida Calhoun, the wife of vice-president John C. Calhoun, launched an “anti-peggy” coalition with other women from the cabinet. The leading women then began to ignore Margaret Eaton.  Martin Van Buren, a widower who was the only single member of the cabinet, allied at the Eaton. Jackson assured the Eaton of his support, perhaps partly due to the fact that his last wife, Rachel Donelson Robards, had also been the subject of gums (Rachel’s first marriage not yet being legally broken At the time of his remarriage with Jackson). Jackson thought that these rumors were the source of his wife’s heart attack, which occurred December 22, 1828 , a few weeks after his election. Nevertheless Rachel’s niece, Emily Donelson, whom Jackson called his “First Lady”, ran alongside Lady Florida Calhoun. Jackson named Eaton as Secretary to the United States War, hoping that the case would settle. But the scandal only increased. Jackson felt that his political opponents, and more particularly those who were close to Calhoun, maintained the controversy [ 2 ] . In a few weeks, this controversy brought, in the spring of 1831, the resignation of almost all the members of the cabinet, with the exception of the only Minister of Posts, William T. Barry. Jackson made his favorite from Van Buren and replaced Calhoun as vice-president, during his re-election campaign. This is how Van Buren became the heir to the Democratic Party. Although Emily Donelson would have supported Lady Florida Calhoun, Jackson did not hold it against him. John Calhoun and his wife left in South Carolina. In 1832, elected senator in the United States Senate, he defended the law of states, slavery and the South which knew economic difficulties, even considering a secession of the Union. Clarence Brown relates the case in the film, The enchantress , ( The Gorgeous Hussy ) in 1936. \u2191 Description of the box of cigars: in the center a portrait of Margaret O’Neal, on the left the president Jackson offering him flowers after his repudiation by the other women of Senator, on the right her husband John Eaton during a duel caused by insults uttered against his wife  \u2191 A B and C (in) J.
