What are you getting at? Jacksonian tradition was not simply Jackson's position; it had plenty of offshoots with much infighting. Willian Gouge is an example, who urged all banks to be closed down; he liked some of Jackson's policies but knew he was a goldite.

Again, Jackson was not AGAINST THE BANKS. He speculated with state banks just like his many advocates did. He also, through Taney and LEVI Woodbury made the Rothschilds the fiscal agent of the US corp to Europe.
