Andrew Jackson fought to destroy the second national bank because he strongly believed in states rights and that the federal government should not interfere with state operations as much as they could
The National Bank was the main issue in 1832. In his second term, Jackson set out to destroy the bank before its charter ended in 1836. He had government funds deposited in state banks, which opponents called Jackson's "pet banks." Biddle fought back by making it harder for people to borrow money.
