Jackson and the BUS
-Earlier renewal sought for BUS charter.
-Political issue w/ Clay trying to discredit Jackson in 1832 election. AJ won.
-Jackson vetoed the bank renewal in 1832
Unconstitutional
Harmful to nation
Only served the wealthy
-AJ w/drew federal money from BUS and placed it in state banks or “pet banks”
Wildcat banks- unreliable too much paper money in circulation

Specie Circular
-Bank notes were virtually worthless and people used them to purchase land from the government
-AJ issued an order to require all land purchased from the federal government to be paid for in specie
-People rushed to banks to redeem paper money for specie resulting in banks, which had ltd specie, to suspend redemption of bank notes
-Many banks stopped accepting paper currency
-Panic of 1837

Election of 1840 (The Whigs)
-“Tippecanoe and Tyler, too” vs “Van, Van, the used-up man”
