JACKSON DBQ

            
             This picture shows an accurate depiction of Jackson. President Jackson took control of the government and acted like a monarch. People that disliked him called him King Andrew Because of the way he ruled during his two terms as president. Two of the incidents that prove Jackson acted like a king were the Killing of the national bank and sectional issues.
             Andrew Jackson never liked the National Bank. He believed the National Bank was only ruled by the rich and did not help the common man in any way. HE also believed the people running it were corrupt and abused their power. (Doc.#12) When he was elected president he did all he could to destroy the bank. The leader of the bank, Biddle saw the end of the bank was near so with the direction of Henry Clay he tried to rechater the bank even though the charter did not run out until 1836. Jackson quickly vetoed this re-chartering. Some people began to question how the executive branch had the power to destroy the bank. (Doc#13). It is very hard to override a veto so the plan to rechater the bank was over.
             Jackson's Next plan was to get rid of the bank completely by letting funds drain and put new federal money in Pet banks. His Secretary of treasury, Mclane would not let him do this so he promoted him and got a new Secretary of treasury who was named Duane. Jackson did not get Duan's ruling on getting rid of the bank, so when Duane agreed with Mclane he fired Duane and hired Taney. Taney allowed him to use preexisting money in the treasury to pay bills and allowed new money to go into the Pet banks. Then the national bank was destroyed completely. Biddle tried to fight back by tightening credit but when he saw the impact it had on the economy he repealed it. Andrew Jackson acted like a king by single handedly destroying the bank.
             During Jackson's presidency he faced many sectional Differences. The tariff of Abominations was passed and it was destroying the south.
