The Peggy Eaton Affair caused 1) Van Buren to become president 2) John Calhoun to not become president 3) the split between north and south that led to the Civil War 4) the first time any Cabinet member to be fired (and the entire cabinet was fired). If you want to read a well documented historical novel on the incident, see "The Breath of Suspicion" on Kindle.
