Put federal funds in state banks or “pet banks”.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -On September 10, 1833, Jackson removed all federal funds from the Second Bank of the U.S., redistributing them to various state banks, which were popularly known as “pet banks.” In addition, he announced that deposits to the bank would not be accepted after October 1.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shortly after the election, Jackson ordered that federal deposits be removed from the second National Bank and put into state banks. Although Jackson’s order met with heavy criticism from members of his administration, most of the government’s money had been moved out of the Bank by late 1833.
Detailed explanation-3: -In his 1830 and 1831 annual messages, Jackson reiterated his opposition to the Bank. He proposed in its stead a wholly government institution-in name a bank, but in effect an arm of the Treasury, without power to make loans, acquire property, or issue notes. In 1832, Congress acted, but not as Jackson recommended.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Bank War was a political struggle that developed over the issue of rechartering the Second Bank of the United States (B.U.S.) during the presidency of Andrew Jackson (1829–1837). The affair resulted in the shutdown of the Bank and its replacement by state banks.
