The years leading up to the panic, he says, were a time of boom marked by geographic expansion, the near elimination of the national debt, states borrowing large sums for improvement projects, and land values that appeared to be rising without end. He explains that the panic caused a deep economic depression that resulted in loan defaults by nine states, federal gridlock, a breakdown of law and order, a loss of faith in banks, and a slow recovery for the U.S. economy, which came back only after the Mexican War. Parallels to the country's current economic recession are clear throughout the text, and Roberts makes explicit comparisons in his conclusion. 000438713 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438713 650_0 $$aDepressions$$y1836-1837. 000438713 650_0 $$aDepressions$$y1847. 000438713 650_0 $$aFinancial crises$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000438713 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic conditions$$yTo 1865. 000438713 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1815-1861. 000438713 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRoberts, Alasdair (Alasdair Scott)$$tAmerica's first Great Depression.$$dIthaca : Cornell University Press, 2012$$z9780801450334$$w(DLC) 2012000694$$w(OCoLC)767566888 000438713 8520_ $$bacq 000438713 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000438713 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000438713 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3138306$$zOnline Access 000438713 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3138306$$zOnline Access 000438713 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438713$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438713 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000438713 980__ $$aBIB 000438713 982__ $$aEbook 000438713 983__ $$aOnline
