Why was Andrew Jackson’s marriage to Rachael Donnellson controversial?

It was there in Harrodsburg that Rachel married Lewis Robards at the age of 18. By all accounts, it was a most unhappy marriage. By this time, Rachel’s father had died, and her mother had returned to Nashville. After separating several times from her husband, Rachel eventually moved to her mother’s house in Tennessee.

A young lawyer, named Andrew Jackson, recently arrived from North Carolina, was boarding with her mother when Rachel arrived. The attraction between the two was immediate. Believing her first husband had divorced her, Rachel went to visit friends near Natchez, and Jackson accompanied her on the journey. While in Natchez, they married. Because Rachel’s marriage to Robards had not been legally dissolved yet, theirs was technically invalid.
