impact of andrew Jacksons economic policies, views on banking during 19th century
1) nullification crisis, thought banks corrupted, don't need a bank anymore, this led to economic depression 2) Andrew Jackson's issuing of the Specie Circular drained state banks of funds, leading to the Panic of 1837. After closing the National Bank, Jackson (who was expansion-minded) issued his Specie Circular in 1836, which required that federal land be bought only through gold and silver. Because of this, citizens overspent their gold and silver, which led the state banks to declare bankruptcy soon after. With the closure of the state banks, the American economy fell into disarray. Cotton prices fell from 20 cents per pound to less than 10 cents per pound, and widespread unemployment occurred. The economic depression suppressed union movements and the Men's Working Party, which sought to secure a just balance of power between all the social classes through the abolition of private banks, chartered monopolies, and debtor's prison's, while demanding public education and a fair system of taxation. As Andrew Jackson finished his second term, he had ruined the American economy and set up Martin Van Buren's (his vice-president) presidency for failure. 3)When Jackson elected a new head to the Treasury Department in 1833, he gave state banks more control of the government's assets by transferring federal gold and silver from the defunct National Bank to various state banks. These "pet banks" caused a political battle, where his opponents, most notably Henry Clay and Nicholas Biddle, passed a resolution in the Senate that censured his veto power. While Jackson gave state banks more control of national funds, he also laid the foundation for an economic depression.
a)religious toleration not found in other original English colonies b)Penn's purpose to be most difficult to fulfill c)explain how one of 13 colonies came close to purpose of religious toleration
A) Religious toleration was not found in any of the other colonies. This was due to the fact that most colonies were founded by religious leaders who wanted to spread their ideas and their beliefs. They didn't want anyone interfering or challenging their ideas. B) Again religious tolerance, because if lots of different religions moved into the same place, people are going to believe they are better than the other, which would probably lead to conflict. C) Maryland was, in some ways religiously tolerant like Penn wanted. Maryland allowed religious freedom to everyone who wasn't a Jew, and if they believed in God. This was very similar to Pennsylvania's tolerance in that they only had to believe in God.
