What was andrew jackson's assassination attempt all about?

Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter, approached Jackson with two loaded guns. Fortunately the guns misfired. Lawrence was mentally unstable and had no connections with Jacksons political rivals. Jackson and his Vice President, Martin Van Buren, was convinced that Lawrence had been hired by the Whig Party, who were opponents of his at the time. Jacksons Democrats and the Whig Party were upset about Jacksons attempts to dismantle the Bank of the United States. Therefore, they could've tried this, but Jacksons suspicious were never proven to be true. Hope this helped! :)
