What was the main cause of the Panic of 1893?

History

GaryK [48]3 years ago

<span>The Panic was the worst economic crisis to hit the nation in its history to that point. Economic historians are not certain what caused it but point to several possible factors. First, too many people attempted to redeem silver notes for gold; ultimately the statutory limit for the minimum amount of gold in federal reserves was reached and U.S. Notes could no longer be successfully redeemed for gold. Next, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad went bankrupt. Then, the National Cordage Company (the most actively traded stock at the time) went into receivership as a result of its bankers calling their loans in response to rumors regarding the NCC's financial distress. A series of bank failures followed, and the price of silver fell. The Northern Pacific Railway, the Union Pacific Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad all failed. This was followed by the bankruptcy of many other companies; in total over 15,000 companies and 500 banks failed (many in the west). About 12%-18% of the workforce was unemployed at the Panic's peak.

hope this makes sense</span>

Discuss the advantages of both internationalism and isolationism.
Temka [501]
Internationalism allows a country to trade with other countries. Trading with other countries can be very beneficial, as they may be able to produce goods/commodities at a cheaper price than US businessss. We see this daily in America, as the US imports millions of products from countries like China.

One of the advantages of isolationism is the ability to stay out of conflicts. When alliances are made with other countries, a country might be forced into a war they don’t necessarily want to be a part of. Isolationism ensures that the focus is on a country’s own needs/wants rather than worrying about the needs of another country.
