Well, for one thing, I know that Andrew Jackson lobbied very hard to avoid the extension of the charter of the bank. PS: In doing so, he created one of the worst economic crisis in the young nation's history.
If you're referring to the "bank of the US" in terms of the Federal Reserve than no it's not the same as a national bank. The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States; just like the Bank of England is the central bank to England. It's main priorities are involved in dealing with monetary policy.
