Bank Veto
President Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of America and began the practice of putting federal funds into state banks. He did this because he thought the bank favored the RICH and NOT the POOR! However, this would lead to a clash between the classes. Despite his firm commitment to the “common man”, Jackson would see the “common man” suffer as the bank declined. Jackson would then lead the country into a “hard coin” economy.
