There were several groups that were concerned about the Bank of the United States, but the group most likely to be concerned were the "anti-Bank" or "anti-national bank" faction, which consisted of agrarian and state's rights advocates. These individuals, including President Thomas Jefferson and his political allies, feared that the Bank of the United States wielded too much centralized power and could potentially undermine state sovereignty. They saw the bank as a tool that primarily benefited the wealthy elite and believed it had an unfair advantage over local banks and agricultural interests.
