Jackson thought the bank symbolized the privileged class and oppressed the will of the common people of America. He made clear that he planned to challenge the constitutionality of the bank.
President Andrew Jackson stated the government would no longer use the Second Bank of the United States, the country’s national bank. He removed all federal funds from the bank…“Bank War.” Distributed funds to State or “Pet Banks.”
Congress censured Jackson, claiming abuse of presidential powers.

8. Nullification Crisis
The Nullification Crisis of 1832 centered around Southern protests against the series of protective tariffs (taxes) that had been introduced to tax all foreign goods in order to boost the sales of US products and protect manufacturers in the North from cheap British goods. The South, being predominantly agricultural, and reliant on the North and foreign countries for manufactured goods, saw the protective tariffs as severely damaging to their economy. John C. Calhoun declared the tariffs were unconstitutional that caused the Nullification Crisis bringing the sectional interests of the North and the South into open conflict for the first time.

9. Indian Removal Act
This law, encouraged by President Jackson, was passed by Congress on 28 May 1830 was prompted by the desire to settle the land but was also due to the discovery of gold. The Indian Removal Act gave the federal government the power to force the relocation of any Native American Indians, living in the east of the country, to territory that was west of the Mississippi River.

10. Trail of Tears
The 1830 Indian Removal Act led to the forced migration of approximately 60,000 Native Americans between 1830 to 1840, including the journey on the infamous Trail of Tears.
the Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma. The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears," because of its devastating effects. The migrants faced hunger, disease, and exhaustion on the forced march. Over 4,000 out of 15,000 of the Cherokees died.
