Bank History and Political Clash Over a National Bank
A historical review traces the push for a central national bank from 1791 through 1816. Hamilton advocates a strong monetary authority modeled on England to fund debt and stabilize finances, while Republicans resist Congressional power to incorporate banks. The Federalists push forward, achieving a charter for a $45 million bank, and President Tyler later recalls the era’s banking rhetoric and opposition.
