USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -To hasten the end of the bank, Jackson ordered the U.S. government deposits (20 percent of its funds) be withdrawn and deposited in state banks so the state banks could make the loans the Bank had stopped making. This pro-Jackson political cartoon from 1833 applauds the removal of the deposits.

Detailed explanation-3: -President Andrew Jackson, like Thomas Jefferson before him, was highly suspicious of the Bank of the United States. He blamed the bank for the Panic of 1819 and for corrupting politics with too much money. After congress renewed the bank charter, Jackson vetoed the bill.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jackson-like Jefferson and Madison before him-thought that the Bank of the United States was unconstitutional. When Congress voted to extend the Second Bank’s charter in 1832, Jackson vetoed the bill. To explain his decision to the nation, Jackson issued this veto message on July 10, 1832.
