Johan Acevedo · Answer 1

B is the correct option.

Explanation:

Nicholas Biddle was American financier, who was the third and last president of the second Bank of America and also served in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. He was involved in a bank war with President Andrew Jackson.

In 1822, he was elected as the president of the second Bank of the US. He was involved in the bank War with President Jackson. President Jackson had a hostile attitude towards banks, and when Biddle on the request of Henry Clay and other Whigs asked to renew the banks charter, he denied to renew it. The political debate that started with this incident is famous as " Bank War".
