I love the story of President Andrew Jackson coming to Mrs. Calhoun’s home and demanding her to invite Mrs Eaton to her parties. The incident is called the Petticoat affair. Mrs Eaton was not from proper stock as the rest of Mrs Calhoun and her friends. The group refused to recognize Mrs Eaton. Mrs Calhoun told President Jackson it wasn’t any of his business who she invited to her house or party. President Jackson was shown the way out.
