Answer 1

The Panic of 1837 was a financial crisis that caused widespread economic hardship in the United States. It was triggered by a combination of factors including the failure of a major British bank, over-speculation in the western land market, and a decline in international trade. The panic led to widespread bank failures, high unemployment, and a severe economic depression that lasted for several years.
