Panic of 1837

saying that landowners are supposed to pay money either gold or silver, which resulted in people asking the bank to exchange money for silver and gold. The bank not having enough money to give out, became corrupted and caused the Panic of 1837. It took so many years until the U.S was recovered from this damage. However, all the blame was on Martin Van Buren when he was in office in 1837. President Andrew Jackson was portrayed in two different ways. To the common people, he is a national hero who brought all his success by himself, from a careless and drunk man to a general who defeated the English completely and won many battles. As for his enemies, the Whigs, they viewed him differently. He was seen as “The King Andrew” not “Mr. President” because he vetoes 12 bills and vetoed the second Bank. In the white’s eyes that was horrible because they benefited from it and the richer became richer and even more powerful. During his last years of the presidency and before his death, he passed the Specie Circular, claiming that landowners should pay silver or gold. Due to that, the U.S was in a horrified economic problems or known as the Panic of 1837. The U.S took about five years to recover from this problem. After his death, Martin Van Buren was in office in 1837 taking all the blame about this corrupt. The people and the government expected some solutions from Martin Van Buren.…

Did the Bank War cause the Panic of 1837? In my opinion, yes, it did cause the panic. Many reasons why it was harmful to the growth of the United States was when every bank stopped payment specie (gold and silver coinage). Because of the panic, unemployment rates rose drastically. Thousands of people lost their jobs. Some causes include the economic policies of President Andrew Jackson who came up with the Specie Circular. He also refused to set up the Second Bank of the United States. This…

The saddest part is after such scare I stop visiting Colombia because the fear of being somewhere and getting attacked, kidnapped or murdered stopped me from going.

Now a day we see in the news horrible things especially in this country but I do know…

Everyone has a fear. When we were little, we were afraid of the monsters that lived under our beds; however, when one grows up fear always tends to get in the way. Fear is this adrenaline that runs through ones body not knowing what to do next. People can act upon fear in two ways; run from it or face it. Fear can eventually turn into a phobia. Depending on how progressive your fear is, making one panic, by just seeing someone or hearing about someone who is in an incident that one could be…

“Where fear and weapons meet--and they often do in urban America--there is always the possibility of death”. "They made me terrifying. Now I'd show them how terrifying I could be."

Brent Staples opens “Black Men in Public Spaces” describing his first encounter and victim as h also does in “Parallel Time” by chance both incidents are, with well-dressed white women. “My first…

The system has created people living with fearing their own shadow. For example Glassner states, “Afraid to go out and buy groceries, they literally waste away in their homes. The pattern becomes self perpetuating; the more time elderly people spend at home, the more TV they tend to watch, and the more fearful they grow” (45). People are being deceived into living in panic that turns people into becoming paranoid of the silliest things. Fear is used as a tool in our society to oppress negative…

I was towards the end of summer and my family of six, went to the fair. Each of us took turns picking what rides we were going to go on. The 20 swings twirl around at different speeds and altitudes, was what my sister wanted to ride. We waited in the short line, and then quickly choose our seats. I started to panic as the ride began, the gray swings went faster and slower, and I could hear the metal chains grinding. That’s when I realized that I really had a fear of heights. I was…
