The Panic of 1819 was a financial crisis in the United States. This year, the post-War economic expansion that had followed the War of 1812 ended, as banks all across the country failed.

The Panic brought attention to the issues of debt-relief, as well as poor relief, and legislation was passed to ensure that the poor people's needs were better addressed.
