Smithsonian exhibition label: "John C. Calhoun of South Carolina was the foremost southern politician of the Jacksonian era. Elected vice president in 1824, he continued in that office-deferring his own presidential ambitions-in the election of 1828, providing essential support for Andrew Jackson's nomination and election. During Jackson's first term, however, Calhoun found himself in a political rivalry with Secretary of State Martin Van Buren, which ultimately caused a rift in the cabinet. In part because of a social scandal alleged by Calhoun's wife against Peggy Eaton, the wife of another cabinet member, Calhoun fell out of favor. Ultimately, Calhoun's public airing of sensitive correspondence with Jackson about the Seminole War brought ridicule on the administration and led to the president's reading Calhoun out of the Democratic Party. In December 1832, Calhoun resigned the vice presidency, becoming the first person to do so."
