Jackson caused a stir among Washington's elite women when he defies Washington society matrons and appoints scandal-plagued John Eaton as his secretary of war. This is as a result of the accussation laid to John Eaton of having an affair with Margaret Peggy (once married to a US salior ) which later cumilated to marriage.

In addition to Margaret’s sullied reputation (having affairs with various Wasignton politicians), her passionate nature, flirtatiousness and outspokenness irked Washington’s society matrons at a time when those qualities were considered unseemly in women leading to the couple to be ostracized from the society after their marriage.
