The political cartoon was first shown in 1832 in the Library of Congress and was a response to Jackson's veto against the United States national bank deposits in September.[2] He is depicted as a monarch because opposers often viewed Jackson as an abuser of his presidential powers, not obeying the laws.[3] The creator of the cartoon remained anonymous, but the cartoon reflected a Whig's point of view.
During the 1832 presidential election, "King Andrew the First" was used to support presidential campaigns opposing Jackson.[4]
