Jackson’s views on the Bank
He didn’t like it and thought it was too powerful, he did not think private industries and the federal government should work together, he knew that the Bank would lend money to Congressmen so they would need to give back to Bank and they would vote in Bank’s favor, and he thought it favored the wealthy
