事件はジャクソン政権全体に動揺を広げ、最終的に1人を除くすべての閣僚の辞任につながった。[[マーティン・ヴァン・ビューレン]]は大統領になる機会を得た一方で、ジョン・カルフーンが大統領志望の全国的な政治家から南部州の地域的な政治家に変容するきっかけにもなった。

マーガレット「ペギー」イートンは[[ホワイトハウス]]から少し離れたところにあり、政治家や軍人に人気の有名な交流の場、[[ワシントンD.C.]]の下宿屋兼居酒屋「フランクリンハウス」を経営するウィリアム・オニールの長女だった。ペギーは[[フランス語]]を学び、ピアノを上手に弾き、その時代の女性としては十分な教育を受けていた<ref name="historynet">{{Cite web|url=http://www.historynet.com/andrew-jackson-the-petticoat-affair-scandal-in-jackons-white-house.htm/4|title=Andrew Jackson: The Petticoat Affair, Scandal in Jackson's White House|work=HistoryNet.com|language=英語|accessdate=2020-08-17}}</ref>。のちに[[アメリカ合衆国郵政長官|郵政長官]]を務めた[[ウィリアム・テイラー・バリー]]は「しょっちゅうピアノを弾き、心地よい歌で私たちを楽しませてくれる」「魅力的な女の子」と書いている{{sfn|Marszalek|2000|p=1835}}。若い女の子ゆえに、男性がよく出入りするバーで働き、下宿屋の顧客と何気ないおしゃべりをする彼女には、厳しい視線が注がれるようになっていった。ペギーは長い年月が経過した後に、「私はまだ{{仮リンク|パンタレッツ|en|Pantalettes}}を履き、他の女の子と一緒に[[輪回し]]をしていましたが、年齢問わず男性の注目の的となりました。少女をうぬぼれさせるのに十分でした。」と回想している<ref name="One Woman">{{cite journal | jstor=3124447| title=One Woman so Dangerous to Public Morals | author=Wood, Kristen E. | journal=Journal of the Early Republic | date=March 1, 1997 |volume=17 | issue=2 | pages=237–275 | doi=10.2307/3124447}}</ref>。

Jackson's sympathy for the Eatons stemmed in part from his late wife Rachel being the subject of innuendo during the presidential campaign, when questions arose as to whether her first marriage had been legally ended before she married Jackson. Jackson believed these attacks were the cause of Rachel's death on December 22, 1828, several weeks after his election to the presidency.<ref>{{cite book |last=Gripsrud |first=Jostein |date=2010 |title=Relocating Television: Television in the Digital Context |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k84q2Ems18MC&pg=PA202 |location=New York, NY |publisher=Routledge |page=202 |isbn=978-0-415-56452-6}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Mattes |first1=Kyle |last2=Redlawsk |first2=David P. |date=2014 |title=The Positive Case for Negative Campaigning |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tkUZBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA74 |location=Chicago, IL |publisher=University of Chicago Press |page=74 |isbn=978-0-226-20202-0}}</ref>
Eaton's entry into a high-profile cabinet post helped intensify the opposition of Mrs. Calhoun's group. In addition, Calhoun was becoming the focal point of opposition to Jackson; Calhoun's supporters opposed a second term for Jackson because they wanted Calhoun elected president. In addition, Jackson favored and Calhoun opposed the protective tariff that came to be known as the [[Tariff of Abominations]]. U.S. tariffs on imported goods generally favored northern industries by limiting competition, but southerners opposed them because the tariffs raised the price of finished goods, but not the raw materials produced in the south. The dispute over the tariff led to the [[Nullification Crisis]] of 1832, with southerners - including Calhoun - arguing that states could refuse to obey federal laws to which they objected, even to the point of secession from the Union, while Jackson vowed to prevent secession and preserve the Union at any cost. Because Calhoun was the most visible opponent of the Jackson administration, Jackson felt that Calhoun and other anti-Jackson officials were fanning the flames of the Peggy Eaton controversy in an attempt to gain political leverage.<ref name="historynet" /> [[Duff Green]], a Calhoun protégé and editor of the ''United States Telegraph,'' accused Eaton of secretly working to have pro-Calhoun cabinet members [[Samuel D. Ingham]] (Treasury) and [[John Branch]] (Navy) removed from their positions.{{sfn|Snelling|1831|p=194}}
Eaton took his revenge on Calhoun. In 1830, reports had emerged which accurately stated that Calhoun, while [[United States Secretary of War|Secretary of War]], had favored censuring Jackson for his 1818 invasion of Florida. These reports infuriated Jackson.{{sfn|Cheathem|2008|p=29}} Calhoun asked Eaton to approach Jackson about the possibility of Calhoun publishing his correspondence with Jackson at the time of the Seminole War. Eaton did nothing. This caused Calhoun to believe that Jackson had approved the publication of the letters.{{sfn|Remini|1981|pp=306-307}} Calhoun published them in the ''Telegraph.''<ref name="John C.
