Why did Andrew Jackson hate John Calhoun?

Answer 1

I am not sure that he hated Calhoun, but they became bitter political enemies when

Calhoun became the champion of nullification- the right of a state to nullify, i.e. refuse

to obey any law they thought was wrong. Of course, the next step would be to secede

from the union if the federal government insisted on trying to enforce the nullified law.

Calhoun wanted to be the next President and so did what he could to make Jackson's party

look bad.

It did not help matters when Calhoun's wife led the fight to banish Peggy Eaton from Washington society after Jackson stood up for her.

Answer 2

jackson did not neccessarily hate calhoun. they had a huge dissagreement about nullification, calhoun wanted to have the south have the ability to not pay tariffs on their export cotten and tobacco and help the north with the factories therefor splitting the country. jackson want the country to be whole. 8th grade history ;D
