What was the main cause of the Panic of 1893?

History
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
3 0
<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>

6. How would the United States of America be different if there weren't three separate
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The United would be very different for many reasons.

Explanation:

The country would've been ran by the states alone and barely would have had a national or federal government. There would've only been the legislative, no judicial or executive branch. Each state would've probably had a different currency, no national bank, and no national army. Each state would've had a militia or volunteer military.

Think about the positive and negative impacts of government on individuals in society. Why is government necessary in the United
andreev551 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Government is necessary for the population because it is through it that rules and guidelines are established that seek to establish the common good, equally, to all individuals in the country. However, although these rules are, in fact, created and implemented in society, the government often does not act fairly, especially when it allows cases of corruption to be established. These cases, instead of creating the common good, the government exploits citizens. For this reason, it is necessary that there is a strong inspection and collection of the population on government actions.

c. only the house of representatives

This was part of the efforts of the Convention to create a federal government since it  had, by that time, become clear that the Articles of Confederation were not a good enough constitution for the new nation.
