scandals...

Postby Hanibar » Tue Jun 30, 2009 6:14 pm

Once again I've watched a special on the Histroy Channel about scandals of the presidents of the U.S. here are some of the rumors, what do you guys think?

they have claimed to have found a diary that said that Lincoln shared a bed with another guy.

How John F. Kennedy’s fling with an East German beauty nearly ended his administration.

Andrew Jackson's wife, Racheal, was a Bigamist.

The Petticoat Affair, a sex scandal which nearly ruined Andrew Jackson’s first term in office and might have been one of the causes of the Civil War.

FDR's dreams of a post-World War II world that were discovered in the long lost diary of one of the women who was there when he died.

Although Woodrow Wilson won World War I, his relationship to his second wife, Edith, may have helped cause World War II.

How J. Edgar Hoover used his secret sex files to become one of the most powerful figures in Washington.

Rachal was a bigamist, but only because her former husband went to France to help fight in Napoleon's army and she thought he was dead, so she married Jackson. Then she got a letter from her actual husband that said he was alive.


Watch 'Andrew Jackson' on History Channel to hear source.

I guess I should have been more specific: The Wilson Marriage one, I have to know, how did it almost cause WW2?

Because when he died ( during his presidency) his wife technically became president instead of the vice president he had a stroke, I believe and died from it, but his wife lied to the government and told that he was ok...

Call me intoxicated, as I thought the title was sandals...those are far more interesting that scandals, since really, scandals come and go but in only a few years....barely anyone cares, or has more than a memory of it.

And would this have almost caused World War 2?
