In the text, you read this about the Bank of the United States:
The Bank of the United States had been a subject of dispute since its early days. The Bank had great power over the nation’s banking system because it controlled loans made by state banks. When the Bank’s directors thought that state banks were making too many loans, they limited the amount these banks could lend. The cutbacks angered farmers and merchants who borrowed money to buy land or finance new businesses.

"The faith and justice of our nation were at hazard [in danger]. That faith and justice were pledged for the protection of the Cherokees in their rights; but that pledge was apparently about to be forfeited [given up], that faith to be broken, and an act of flagrant [open] robbery to be committed upon a defenceless people, with the sanction [approval] of our national authorities. . . . We hoped that a decision of the Supreme Court might be the occasion of arresting [stopping] the hand of oppression." —Samuel A. Worcester and Elizur Butler, Letter upon their release from prison, 1833
