Describe the basic economic issues in America following the War of 1812
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The rapid growth of the era led to uncertainty and speculation. Students need to describe how the lack of economic controls made the economy more vulnerable to a depression. In assessing the reaction, students should focus on how Americans assigned blame for the crisis, especially the feelings among many small farmers that it was the result of manipulation by wealthy interests and how this made class tensions even worse.
