Help finding info for research paper on the panic of 1857?

Question

I have looked so many places and only come up with one page usually reguarding the topic. My research paper needs to be at least eight pages. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I just read the Wikipedia page, and it is scary.

- A major US financial business failing, with big scale corruption

- A loss of confidence in the dollar

- A change in worldwide trading patterns away from America

And:

- A collapse in property prices.  :

--- Collapse of the Stock Market ---

The Civil War.

Sorry.  Looks like you're doomed.

Here's one opinion I found, (no name attached):



During the 19th Century there were 5 panics 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873 and 1893. Each of those was preceded by growth in the money supply (gold), but that was not the problem as much as the combination of un-backed notes issue and uncontrolled credit expansion by the certain banks. In addition, many banks were basically resorting to inflating the un-backed note issue at a ratio of 7 to 1 through the use of what we know as fractional reserve or the issuance of paper money without corresponding reserve backing. Now the numbers of panics of the 19th Century pale in comparison to those we have suffered under the Federal Reserve System. There have actually been 3 Depressions in the 20th Century; the first was in 1920-1921, the next was 1929-1933 and the next was 1937-1938. There were sharp Recessions: 1923-1924, 1948-1949,1953-1954, 1957-1958, 1973-1975, and 1981-1982. 1987. Then there were 7 mild Recessions: 1926-1927, 1960-1961, 1969-1970, 1980, 1990-1991, 1999 and then 2001 brought on by the events of 9/11. Not the best record for a system touted to bring security and stability to the economy of this country, would you say? None of that however, will compare to what will happen when the system reaches its terminal point. A few years ago the system reached its practical possible lifespan and it now moving into that period that can be called its maximum possible lifespan. At one time the economy could maintain itself even when interest rates were in the double digits however, that is no longer the case. Now, as we have seen, it is exhibiting difficulty tolerating what would once be considered minor rate increases.

So,  vote for Ron Paul, and scare yourself good and proper by googling 'Ambrose Evans-Pritchard' and reading everything he has written on the US and world economy.

Next go and buy as much bullion as you can.  And some chickens and a pig and a gun.
