Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seeking the bank's charter renewal four years early angered President Andrew Jackson and his supporters, leading to the demise of the Bank of the United States. This was a major strategic blunder by Biddle. Confiding in Henry Clay or giving bank loans to congressmen were not necessarily strategic blunders, and there is no evidence of Biddle advocating for large loans to immigrants. Failure to listen to Henry Clay's advice may have been a mistake, but it is not a specific strategic blunder.
