President Jackson attempts in 1833 to begin…
September 1833 CE
Jackson's moves are greatly controversial.
He has removed Louis McLane from the Treasury Department, having him serve instead as Secretary of State, replacing Edward Livingston; he replaces McLane with William J. Duane.
In September, he fires Duane for refusing to remove the deposits, and, signalling his intent to continue battling the Bank, he replaces Duane with Roger B. Taney, his former Attorney General and the future Supreme Court Chief Justice.
Under Taney, who obeys Jackson, the deposits begin to be removed.
They are placed in a variety of state banks that are friendly to the administration's policies, known to critics as pet banks.
