  • Panic of 1837

    Van Buren's presidency was marked by the depression known as the "Panic of 1837." During this time, hundreds of banks folded and unemployment reached record high, but Van Buren refused to allow the government to become involved with regulating United States banks. Largely due to being blamed for the Panic, he was not elected to a second term.
