I know it was sometime in Dec. 1791...what was the exact date?

C'om people...I tried Googling this, no luck...

1791, to the pleasure of Hamilton and to the chagrin of Jefferson.

Thanks. For some reason the first few pages of Google that I got just said 'Dec, 1791'

So, thanks all.

I am quite sure it was a bit before the Second National Bank came to be.

Of course, this is just my opinion, I could be wrong.
