Question

For what reasons did Andrew Jackson oppose the doctrine of nullification and the Bank of the United States? What were the consequences of his successful defeat of the doctrine and the Bank?

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson did not like the idea of a National Bank because of what had happened earlier to the farmer in the West. When the National Bank 'ended' many farmers ended up being in debt and most lost their properties. Since Andrew Jackson supported the 'common man' he opposed the idea of a National Bank. Due to Jackson not restoring the National Bank, America went into debt and inflation became great.
