Solution
In 1832, Nicholas Biddle did the following:
-
He applied for a renewal of the national bank's charter. Biddle, as the president of the Second Bank of the United States, sought to have the bank's federal charter renewed. This was a significant event as it was part of the larger "Bank War" that was a central issue during the presidency of Andrew Jackson.
-
He supported Henry Clay instead of Andrew Jackson in the presidential campaign. Biddle and Clay were both proponents of a strong national banking system, which was in direct opposition to President Jackson's views. Therefore, Biddle supported Clay in the 1832 presidential election.
He did not enthusiastically throw his support to Jackson in order to get the national bank rechartered. In fact, Biddle and Jackson were on opposite sides of the banking issue, with Jackson famously vetoing the bill to recharter the bank.
Also, he did not advise Jackson to avoid the issue of banking in the presidential campaign. The issue of the bank's recharter was a major point of contention in the 1832 election.
