During the 1800’s, after the War of 1812, other issues developed in America. These issues were not near as astounding as the War of 1812, but they did however lead to other wars. During this time period, specifically the 1830s, Indians were a major part of the problems that America faced.

Jackson actually reinforced the hard-money position and refused renew the charter of the bank that would soon expire in 1836. Biddle realized what was in store and as a response, he attempted to acquire both Daniel Webster and Henry clay, two men that were more accustomed to politics. Biddle later went on to apply to Congress in attempt to renew the charter of the bank, and congress passed the bill. Conversely, Andrew Jackson made the decision to override the bill, and recharter bill was unsuccessful.

After making an attempt to maintain numerous sources of credit, Biddle had to contradict himself to conciliate the business community and when while doing so, ruined the only chance he had at receiving a recharter for the bank.
