USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Andrew Jackson hated the National Bank for a variety of reasons. Proud of being a self-made “common” man, he argued that the bank favored the wealthy.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -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."
