    Bank War
    Jackson announced that, effective October 1, 1833, federal funds would no longer be deposited in the Bank of the United States. Instead, he began placing them in various state banks; by the end of 1833, twenty-three ‘pet banks’ (as they were popularly known) had been selected. He did this to stop the national bank fro getting a renewal in 1836. He hated the national bank and wanted it gone.
