In 1836, the bank would die, or cease to be national bank, if not rechartered by congress. Clay, Webster, and others convinced Nicholas Biddle, the bank's President that it could be rechartered in 1832 with the present congress, and Jackson's need (so they though) to avoid the issue in order to be re-elected. But Clay and Webster indicated they could not be so sure of the recharter (and they might lose interest in the matter) if it were put off until after 1832.

"The Housing Crash... of 1837"

Business stimulated to the most unhealthy activity; a vast amount of over production in the mechanic arts; a vast amount of speculation in property of every kind and name, at fictitious values; and finally, a vast and terrific crash, when the treacherous and unsubstantial basis crumbles beneath the stupendous fabric of credit, and the structure falls to the ground, burying in its ruins thousands who exulted in the fancied security of their elevation. Men, now-a-days, go to bed deeming themselves rich, and wake in the morning to find themselves stripped of even the little they really had.

ROTHSCHILD influence in the United States of America is of very long standing, but there is no reason to believe the story that the Jew Haym Solomon who helped to finance the War of Independence was an agent of the family, as he died in 1785, before Amschel Rothschild became an international financier.

6. The American House

In 1837 the Rothschilds sent an agent of theirs to establish offices in New York. This was a Jew called Schoenberg, whose name was changed to August Belmont, and who professed Christianity. This Jew had had experience both in the Frankfort and the Naples branches of the Rothschild connection. From 1844 to 1850, Belmont was, through Solomon Rothschild’s influence, made the Austrian Consul-General at New York; he then resigned as a protest against Austria’s treatment of the Hungarian revolutionary, Kossuth.

DESCENT INTO SLAVERY It would be extraordinarily naive to even consider the possibility that a family as ambitious, as cunning and as monopolistically minded as the Rothschilds could resist the temptation of becoming heavily involved on the American front.

Toxic Debt, Liar Loans, and Securitized Human Beings. Edward E. BaptistToxic Debt, Liar Loans, and Securitized Human Beings The Panic of 1837 and the fate of slavery Early in the last decade, an Ayn Rand disciple named Alan Greenspan, who had been trusted with the U.S. government's powers for regulating the financial economy, stated his faith in the ability of that economy to maintain its own stability: "Recent regulatory reform coupled with innovative technologies has spawned rapidly growing markets for, among other products, asset-backed securities, collateral loan obligations, and credit derivative default swaps.

These increasingly complex financial instruments have contributed, especially over the recent stressful period, to the development of a far more flexible, efficient, and hence resilient financial system than existed just a quarter-century ago. " These versions of the Panic are capsules that carry other versions of the history of American capitalism into the bloodstream of historical consciousness.

Is Bernanke Channeling Nicholas Biddle? When the Federal Reserve began its quantitative easing program (QE2) earlier this month, it did not anticipate the subsequent firestorm of criticism.

Did the Panic of 1837 Affect the Demise of the Kirtland Safety Society? - Believe All Things. Panic of 1837. Causes[edit] The crisis was due to a period of economic expansion from mid-1834 to mid-1836. The prices of land, cotton, and slaves rose sharply in these years. The origins of this boom had many causes, both domestic and international. Because of the peculiar factors of international trade at the time, abundant amounts of silver were coming into the United States from Mexico and China. Land sales and tariffs on imports were also generating substantial federal revenues.

In 1836, directors of the Bank of England noticed that the Bank's monetary reserves had declined precipitously in recent years, possibly because of poor wheat harvests that forced Great Britain to import much of its food. When New York banks raised interest rates and scaled back on lending, the effects were damaging. Americans at the time attributed the cause of the panic principally to domestic political conflicts.
