Peggy Eaton

Peggy Eaton was the center of a dirty juicy scandal. She was the mistress of John Eaton. John Eaton then married her. The other ladies did nothing but talk down and talk dirt about her. It eventually caused her to withdraw herself from the social scene. She couldn't stand being the center of attention for being scandalous. This split the Jackson administration. I believe it relates a lot to society today. People love nothing more than a juicy scandal. Famous people and even "average" people love to have a reason to gossip and curve the attention away from themselves and what they may have to hide. It's actually amazing that things like these haven't changed much.
