John Quincy Adams was a Pimp ?

The election of 1828

One of the most vitriolic elections was in 1828.

John Quincy Adams was nicknamed "The Pimp" by the campaign of his opponent General Andrew Jackson, based on a rumour that he had once coerced a young woman into an affair with a Russian nobleman when he had been American ambassador to Russia.

I love Andrew Jackson - decent President, but great General - the Hero of New Orleans!

To the victor belongs the spoils....
