The Bank War was a campaign started by Andrew Jackson to terminate the Second Bank of the United States, but it was mainly due to that fact that his reelection assured him that his objection to the bank won his national support. Andrew Jackson's antagonism with the capable national bank and its "paper cash" can be followed as far back as the First Bank of the US. Jackson lost everything amid the time when the market development and the accessibility of western grounds ought to have offered safe open doors for monetary change to an ever increasing number of people. Jackson rebuked the keeping money framework for his own monetary disasters (all including land hypothesis and useless certified receipts). With overpowering help of the majority, Jackson was chosen president in 1828 and offered energy to look for change.…

In July of 1832, Andrew Jackson wrote an address to Congress explaining why he vetoed the proposed bill for the institution of a national bank. Despite the fact that Jackson was not known for completing tasks in a benevolent manner, his decision to veto the bill was actually rather admirable and beneficial for the country at the time. Jackson strongly argued the point that stocks should be dispersed between both foreign countries and the early United States fairly. He believed this to be crucial because if given the opportunity the foreign countries, primarily Great Britain, would try to purchase as much stock as possible allowing their wealth to flourish. While in theory the idea seemed like a good way to create a constant flow of revenue, if the majority of the revenue was to only return to countries, such as Great Britain, the inhabitants in the United States would still be in debt .…
The Second Bank of the United States was what most of the banking policy discussions originated from. Jackson disliked banks and paper money in general. He vetoed the renewal of the Bank's charter and withdrew federal deposits from the bank. Clay hoped to divide Jackson's supporters, and earn the favor in Pennsylvania, where the bank’s headquarters were. Clay launched attacks on Jackson and generally failed.…
One of his greatest accomplishments as president was when he became involved in a battle with the Second Bank of the United States. Jackson took a stand towards this monopoly and vetoed its re-charter bill, charging the bank with unfair economic privilege. Even though Jackson was popular with the common man, his presidency did have some controversies. One policy that is up for debate is how Jackson dealt with the Native Americans. In 1830, many southerners wanted Native Americans to move out of their land and in response; Jackson urged congress to pass the Indian Removal Act (Lapanskey-Werner, et al page 254).…
I feel that Andrew Jackson did what he felt was right at the time being which was a long time ago. He made tough decisions that helped and hurt the economy closing the national. Including wanting to destroy paper money. He was trying to mean well obliterating paper money and all…
For the entirety of the message, Jackson continues to clarify his reasoning behind the bank veto and it actually makes sense. Jackson was also accused of being a supporter Indian Removal because he gave the Indians the option to either conform to white civilization or leave their homelands. One Indian responded to Jackson’s proposal with the…
Do you ever wonder Why andrew jackson was an important person in history? The battle of new Orleans was a battle between America and Great Britain. The British though it would give them control of the vast majority if the newly acquired Louisiana purchase. It was an important event even though the treaty of ghent was signed after they battled. During the battle America had no trained soldiers Great britain had lots of soldiers who were trained.…

The Second Bank started in 1816, as a replacement to the First Bank of the United States, and the charter had expired in 1811. In 1832, Jackson had vetoed a bill that asked for an early renewal of the Second Bank’s charter, the renewal was still possible when the charter expired in 1836. So to prevent that from happening, he decided to get rid of the bank’s economic power. Jackson said that, starting October 1, 1833, federal funds wouldn’t be deposited in the Bank of the US.…
It was unfair to the workers who worked really hard to get those jobs, only to lose them because the new president did not know them. Also, many of these supporters Jackson hired were not very qualified…
did not need a national bank which only served the interests of the wealthy classes another major issue during Jackson's presidency was his refusal to sanction the recharter of the Bank of the United States. Jackson thought Congress had not had the authority to create the Bank in the first place, but he also viewed the Bank as operating for the primary benefit of the upper classes at the expense of working people. Jackson used one of his dozen vetoes, and the Bank's congressional supporters did not have enough votes to override him. The Bank ceased to exist when its charter expired in 1836, but even before that date the president had weakened it considerably by withdrawing millions of dollars of federal…
When we as Americans look back at our past, we are often overwhelmed with all of the significant events and people that shaped this great nation. When we take a closer look we can pick out a few that shaped this nation more than others. This country was founded over 200 years ago which gives us plenty to analyze, however, Andrew Jackson is one person in particular who undeniably played a huge role in shaping our country in the 1800s. A man of humble beginning that rose to prominence on the national stage and enacted his policies in a nation. Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1776, on the border of North and South Carolina.…
In Jackson’s veto message, he rejects a bill that rechartered the Bank. Jackson’s argument was that the Bank gave privileges and unfair advantages to the wealthy. He also opposed foreign ownership of stock. Not only this, but he also questions the constitutionality of the Bank. Jackson later warned that banks and corporations would steal citizens’ liberties away from them in his Farewell Address in 1837 (Jackson).…
The failure of the banking system helped cause the Great Depression. “When one bank failed, the assets of others were frozen while depositors elsewhere has… [a] warning to go ask for their money” (Doc L). This was a minor cause because if one bank failed it started a domino effect of all the banks failing one at a time. The more banks that failed, the more of the American nation was left homeless and unemployed. The cycle helped cause the Great Depression and slowly but surely tore down the American…
