Thesis statement

The question was: Compare and contrast the different views of the major political players during the Jacksonian era, specifically their views on banking and nullification.

My thesis: Politicians during the Jacksonian democracy showed many similarities and differences about many factors, specifiically on the national bank and nullification?

Is that a good thesis? Is there anything i should change?
