1 Jan 1819 Jahr - Recession of 1819

Beschreibung:

The recession of 1819 occurred for several reasons. The Tariff of 1816 led to a decrease in exports, which was combined with a rising competition with foreign goods. Additionally, risky lending was occurring in the West (Speculation), causing banks to increase credit.

The recession resulted in a deflation of currency (it's not worth as much), bank closures, rising unemployment, and most severely affected the west.
