The federal government stopped accepting paper money for the purchase of land.
McCullough v. Maryland, (1819) John Marshall's court upheld the constitutionality of the federal bank as chartered by Congress, thereby verifiying the argument of Alexander Hamilton during Washington's administration, and declared that states could not tax federal property. This decision will be disregarded by Andrew Jackson in his written response (actually written by future Chief Justice Roger Taney) that accompanied his veto of the bank rechartering bill during his "bank wars" with Nicholas Biddle and the 2nd BUS. It will, however, remain law.
The bank closed when it's charter expired in 1836.
The Confederates (Lee-Jackson partnership)
George Washington (1st President), James Monroe (5th) and Andrew Jackson (7th) were in the Army during the Revolution. John Adams (2nd), Thomas Jefferson (3rd) and James Madison (4th) were in politics while the war was going on.
Andrew Jackson got rid of the 2nd National Bank.

There were no actual, shooting type, wars while Jackson was President.There were conflicts which might figuratively be called wars, such as the fight against nullification with South Carolina and the fight to abolish the 2nd National Bank.
Andrew Jackson did not sign the charter for the Second National Bank because he believed that it concentrated too much power in the hands of a few wealthy individuals and posed a threat to the democratic principles he valued. He considered the bank to be unconstitutional and a tool for promoting the interests of the wealthy elite at the expense of the common people.
Biddle was the president of the bank and certainly did not intend to kill it, but his challenge to Andrew Jackson to have the charter renewed in an election year did result its demise, so in a sense he helped kill it.
It became a sort of national mandate on whether the 2nd Bank of the US ought to remain in existence or be abolished. When Jackson won the election handily, he his win as a signal that the people seconded his view that the bank should be abolished.
The father of modern banking is Nicholas Biddle I spent 20 years teaching and as a gust lecturer for the American Institute of Banking as well as a 40 year banking career. Biddle fought the "Bank Wars" against Andrew Jackson regarding the 2nd Bank of the United States. Todays Federal Reserve System (the FED) is designed around his genius. LD Wright
His largest failure is in not representing the American people. Jackson used the power of the veto more than any other US president. The house and senate have more people and thus a more accurate representation of the will of the people. Jackson often went against this will to do what he wanted; to do his will. Example: After Jackson passed the Indian Removal Act (1830) the Cherokees fought their removal using the law. The Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokees could not be forced to give up their land against their will. Jackson ignore this and continued his support of removal. source: A History of the American People (AP edition)- Faragher and others. Another Example: The Bank War (a struggle between Jackson and the supporters of the 2nd Bank of the US). Jackson, again against the will of the people, refused to renew the charter of the second bank. Political and Economic consequences ensued. Led to our current policy of laissez faire ( <----guess what led to our recent recession).

He ordered it to be deposited in various state banks.
Mr Biddle's bank is another name for the 2nd national bank of the US. It was around in the early 1800s. President Jackson (in office 1828 to 1836) hated the bank, and worked to destroy it during his presidency.
