AdamsOnís Treaty (1819) (Transcontinental Treaty)
The treaty between the
United States and Spain that gave Florida to the United States and set out a boundary between the United States and New Spain (now Mexico) that settle boundary disputes. Treaty was negotiated by Secretary of State John Quincy
Adams and Don Luis de Onís. John Quincy Adams was big into gaining territory.
The treaty was significant because it gave Florida to the United States and created a boundary line between Spanish territory and the US, which solved territory disputes about the Louisiana Purchase up until the MexicanAmerican
War.

The Bank Veto (1832) On July 10, 1832 Jackson vetoed the rechartering bill for the bank of the United States in a message that appealed both to state bankers and to foes of all banks. Henry Clay convinced Nicholas Biddle,
President of the Bank, to apply to congress for a new charter, even though the current one wouldn’t expire for another 4 years, in order to create an issue to use against Jackson in the presidential campaign of 1832. His plan backfired.
Congress failed to override Jackson’s veto and afterwards Jackson went on to destroy the National Bank. Jackson won the campaign and the Bank war, but he left the impression that the Democrats had played fast and loose with the nation’s credit system. By the end of Jackson’s presidency the country was in the economic panic of 1837. (page 264265)
