Bank Debate•Charter on the U.S. Bank was due to expire March 4, 1811•Congressional consideration postponed due to foreign affairs•“Old Republicans” opposed renewal•2/3 of the stock was owned by Britons – renewal would aid the enemy
Failure to recharter the bank deprived the government of urgently needed financial resources during the War of 1812
