Annual Message to Congress (State of the Union), 1834

President Andrew Jackson delivered his annual message to Congress on December 1, 1834, reviewing the administration's fiscal condition and reiterating opposition to the Second Bank of the United States and its chartering.

The message set the administration's legislative priorities—particularly on banking and the federal debt—and framed Jackson's continuing campaign against the national bank as Congress prepared actions that would culminate in the removal of federal deposits and the near elimination of the national debt.
