During his second term, in the spring of 1833 after being distracted by the Nullification Crisis did he again focused on destroying the Bank. He withdraws the government’s money from the bank and was places in the state banks on September 25, 1833 by the ordered of the Treasury in the beginning of October. Biddle, in effort, countered that the Bank will ceases the offering loans nationwide which cause the nation to a near-panic since the state banks were unable to meet the demands of their loans. Despite that, Jackson becomes even more determine to stop the Bank. He pushes toward the use of “hard” currency in 1834.
In document L it states "It sows... the seeds of jealousy and ill-will against the government of which its author is the official head." This means the bank was housed be both senete and house and Jackson didn't want
When Jackson chose to eliminate the National Bank he had what was best for him on his mind and not what was best for the United States. The second National Bank was established in 1816 and had a charter set to expire in twenty years. The bank became very powerful and was good for the U.S. economy, “...it was the only bank permitted to have offices across the nation... The Bank of the United States also printed the country’s paper money” (Ember). Having these responsibilities, the bank became a very important part of the economy.
Jackson 's push to abolish national banks other wise known as "the bank wars" was one of his more well known pushes for small government. In 1832, Jackson had vetoed a bill calling for an early renewal of the Second Bank’s charter, but renewal was still possible when the charter expired

From what I read and what he said, I thought it sounded like he didn’t want to shut down the United States Bank. And then in Document 5, Webster acted like Jackson should put an end to the bank by saying, “It manifestly seeks to inflame the poor against the rich, it wantonly attacks whole classes of the people, for the purposes of turning against them the prejudices and resentment of the other classes.”
When senators Henry Clay and Daniel Webster tried to use the bank against Jackson, and apply early for a new charter, their plan backfired. According to the textbook, Jackson stated, “The bank, Mr. Van Buren, is trying to kill me. But I will kill it!” (Appleby, 2000) This led to Jackson vetoing the bill, and to the senators’ dismay, a lot more citizens agreed with Jackson.
In addition, Jackson felt that the executive branch had more power than the judicial branch with this bill. On the other hand, the Bank War of 1832 resides as Jackson and Daniel Webster had conflicting opinions over the Bank’s charter in Doc 3. The intended audience for this document is Jackson, as he was the person that vetoed the bill. The purpose of this document is to inform Jackson of the consequences of
Andrew Jackson is on the twenty dollar bill. As with most people on United States money, it is most likely they did something memorable. It has been stated that he live a very controversial life, with people having different thoughts about him, both good and bad. With people having a variety of opinions regarding President Jackson, there are many opinions whether he should stay on the twenty dollar bill. Despite President Andrew Jackson’s controversial legacy, he should remain on the face of the twenty dollar bill because of his viewpoints regarding voting, sound money principles, and National debt.
It especially opposed control by a select few and so the Bank was doubly against Jacksonian ideals. Andrew Jackson cited these reasons in his veto message which show that his veto reflected the core beliefs of Jacksonian

In the document “Jackson Battles the Bank”, it shows Jackson fighting off a monster, or the national bank, with a veto stick. Jackson was fighting to destroy the national bank. He wanted to do this because it favored the rich and not the common people. He was fighting for people to have equal rights. Instead of having no bank at all, he came up with the idea to create state banks which wouldn’t be as powerful as the National Bank.
Jackson dismantled the bank by the time its charter expired in 1836. Jackson's struggles with Congress were because of his personal rivalry with the leader of congress Charles Clay. Jackson's presidency marked the beginning of the "spoils system" in politics. Perhaps Jacksons mostly known for having signed the Indian Removal Act which removed a large amount of Native
Jacksonian America Andrew Jackson rose into a self made man and was president for two terms. He ran on the platform of being a common man and his opening the White House to every man seemed to symbolize the era of the Common Man. He and his followers claimed to be guardians of the constitution, and held a fixed position, meaning that they believed the constitution should not change. He also claimed to be a guardian of political democracy, although during his years as president, he did not expand the franchise to vote. Jackson believed in a democracy that would not be corrupted by “special privilege” and ruled by the eastern elitists.
In this attack, he moved about 20% of United States’ money into private banks. These banks were known as ‘’pet’’ banks because they politically supported Andrew Jackson. This causes what we know as The Bank War. Andrew Jackson enlarged credit by doing away with the bank. Andrew Jackson then moved the money from those banks into the private ones that only supported him.
