During the 1832 election year, the recharting of the Second Bank of the United States became an overriding issue, pitting Andrew Jackson supporters against the pro bank Nicholas Biddle interests. Jackson perceived the bank as a threat to state sovereignty and the institution of slavery and in 1833, removed federal deposits from the Second Bank of the United States and distributed the funds in numerous state banks. This perceived abuse of executive authority resulted in the formation of the Whig Party. As a response to Jackson's policies, the bank tightened credit which resulted in an economic downturn and backlash from business interests. Biddle and his pro bank backers yielded and the bank's charter was converted to a state charter and eventually liquidated in 1841.
