Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Petticoat Affair was an 1829-1831 American scandal involving Andrew Jackson's cabinet and their wives. These women publicly excluded John Eaton and his wife over the disapproval of the circumstances that surrounded their marriage. They also considered Eaton's wife a failure at meeting the standards of a cabinet wife.

Hope this helps, have a great day/night!
