Reading on the Panic of 1819

 

 

 

CAUSES

#1 Over speculation of frontier lands by Banks (especially BUS)


#2 Inflation from war of 1812 + economic drop-off = vulnerable economy

 

#3 Deficit trade in balance with Britain

 

#4 BUS forced wildcat western banks to foreclose on western farms

 

RESULTS
Western farmers viewed banks as a evil financial monster

Hard hit poor classes looking for more representative government (beginnings of Jacksonian democracy) 

Attention drawn to the inhumanity of debtors prisons
