Bank War (1 Jan 1832 Jahr – 4 März 1837 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Andrew Jackson's struggle to destroy the Second National Bank, headed by Nicholas Biddle. Jackson trusted banks very little, so he vetoed the renewal of the Bank's charter and then destroyed the Bank itself by withdrawing all of the government's money from it. To fill the Bank's void, many state banks took over and began overprinting currency that caused a massive inflation, leading to the Panic of 1837.
