The rush from the New York Stock Exchange
The rush from the New York Stock Exchange on September, 15, 1873, beginning the worst depression in US history. Financing the US Civil War with fiat currency was one cause, unstable financing of the postwar railroad boom, and economic devastation of the South were others. Bank and brokerage house failures followed, railway construction slowed, and political will to enforce Congressional Reconstruction was lost. Illustration by Howard Pyle
