suspicious about this Thought these men were not the proper

men to run the country

nullify the tariffs

Jackson lowered them by the South was still unhappy

Calhoun lead a campaign to reject the tariff laws

This was similar to Virginia and Kentucky resolutions that Jefferson encouraged 30 years prior

Battle of the Banks Who started the idea of the National Bank?

Jackson was against the bank because he thought it only helped the rich

He distrusted the bank’s president Nicholas Biddle.

Bank’s charters was due for renewal in 1836

Henry Clay decided it couldn’t wait that long

Bank Clay wanted to run against Jackson in 1832

and he thought he could get the people to dislike Jackson if he pushed the bank issue

Clay pushed the issue for Congress so Jackson would have to vote on it

Clay thought if Jackson voted for it he’d lose the vote of the common folk and if he voted against it he’d lose the vote of the rich folk

Bank Jackson voted against the bank and still won

re-election because there were more common folk than rich folk

Jackson then starved the bank to death by taking it’s money and putting it in small state banks run by his supporters
