Now we’re going to look at the developing economic tug-of-war between northern manufacturing and southern agricultural states over the Bank of the United States. The Bank of the United States was first conceived by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton as a way to pay off national debt and encourage economic growth.Hamilton’s plan made sense for the national economy, but was originally opposed by some southern lawmakers for giving too much power to the federal government.

In 1816, Henry Clay wanted to charter a Second Bank of the United States in order to lend money to American businesses and restore the nation’s money supply.Along with creating the bank, a protective tariff was passed on all goods imported from Europe. The money collected from the tariff was to be used for building roads, bridges, and canals to stimulate commerce. These actions helped the nation as a whole, but especially northern manufacturers who sold more of their goods. Many southerners disliked tariffs. With few factories, many southerners relied on cheap British-made goods, and money spent on road construction was seen as wasteful in a region that relied heavily on waterways to transport goods.As a westerner, Andrew Jackson opposed the Bank for many reasons.

Jackson made no secret that he felt the Bank was too powerful, which alarmed Biddle and the Bank’s champions in Congress, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.Though the Bank’s congressional charter was not due for renewal until 1836, Clay and Webster convinced Biddle to re-apply before the 1832 presidential election. Clay and Webster gambled that Jackson would veto the charter and hoped angry voters would not vote him back into office. Jackson did not hesitate. He vetoed the Bank bill, believing it favored the wealthy over farmers, mechanics, and laborers. The Whig party made the Bank bill a major issue in the 1832 election, choosing Henry Clay as their presidential candidate. The bill was very popular with northerners, and the Whigs were counting on a popular uprising against Jackson due to his veto of the Bank. The Whigs could not have been more wrong. Jackson won a stunning election victory. He was still a man of the people. Jackson took immediate steps to defund the Bank, redepositing money in “pet” banks controlled by his Secretary of the Treasury, Roger Taney. These action put the nation at risk.
