Who am I?

• 1st Bank “died” in 1811• 2nd Bank created in 1816…why?

– to solve inflation & military financing of War of 1812• How long do you make the 2nd BUS charter?

• Who is this?• What are his views

on the Federalism Tug of War?– Empower the

Federal Gov over the states

• What are his views on the Separation of Powers Tug of War?– Empower the

Judicial Branch

• The 2nd BUS was created, and BUS branches spread out throughout the USA (like today)

• States & state banks felt threatened by these new national banks

• Maryland tried to tax any non-Maryland bank…• James McCulloch was the manager of the

Baltimore branch of the 2nd BUS– He refused to pay the tax

• Congress had the power to create the 2nd BUS and have branches…

• States have the power of taxation, but not of the Federal Government…

• So who wins…– McCulloch– Federal

Government!!!

• Causes– A lot of things– collapse of export market in Europe, cheap imports

hurting American manufacturers, unemployment, unstable growth and credit extended by 2nd BUS and smaller banks, 2nd BUS trying to let air out of the overinflated balloon by calling back loans

says USA & Spain have to control their on their side of the boundary

• 1810, Americans annex just Western FL

• Expansionists want all of FL– Start to – Poke Poke!

Florida

• Seminole Indians attack invading Americans in FLA

• Seminoles cross into Georgia and attack there too!!– Why is this

important?

• President Monroe sends Andrew Jackson to attack Seminoles in March 1818– Jackson has been down

there already for years– Monroe gives Jackson, “full

powers to conduct the war in the manner he may judge best.”

Spain?

• Jackson invaded Florida and…– Burned Indian villages and crops– Seized Spanish forts– Executed Indian sympathizers (from GB)– Executed Seminole and Creek leaders
