Jackson deals with two major crises during his presidency. First, he faces down the nullifiers in South Carolina, led by his own vice president, insisting that the Union must be preserved even if the federal government must use force against a state; and secondly, opposes the re-chartering of the Bank of the United States, taking aggressive and unpopular actions on constitutional and moral grounds.
