Detailed explanation-1: -In 1832, Andrew Jackson ordered the withdrawal of federal government funds from the Bank of the United States, one of the steps that ultimately led to the Panic of 1837. The Panic of 1837 was a financial crisis that had damaging effects on the Ohio and national economies.
Detailed explanation-2: -President Andrew Jackson announces that the government will no longer use the Second Bank of the United States, the country’s national bank, on September 10, 1833. He then used his executive power to remove all federal funds from the bank, in the final salvo of what is referred to as the “Bank War."
Detailed explanation-3: -Andrew Jackson vetoed the bill re-chartering the Second Bank in July 1832 by arguing that in the form presented to him it was incompatible with “justice, ” “sound policy” and the Constitution.
Detailed explanation-4: -The lack of a central bank to regulate fiscal matters, which President Andrew Jackson had ensured by not extending the charter of the Second Bank of the United States, was also key. This ailing economy of early 1837 led investors to panic – a bank run ensued – giving the crisis its name.
Detailed explanation-5: -Historians have traditionally attributed the Panic of 1837 to a real estate bubble and erratic American banking policy. Most speculation concerned western land opened to settlement after Indian removals, but northeastern forests were among the most overvalued holdings.
