The correct answer is D) The end of the war between France and Great Britain

The factor that added to the Panic of 1819 was "the end of the war between France and Great Britain."

This is a correct statement because England and France had ended their war but Britain ended up with a deep debt. British entrepreneurs and merchants still produced their goods and exported them to the United States at competitive prices so people could but the products and maintain the economy of England. What happened was that American businessmen demanded a raise in importations from England to protect jobs in the United States. So this factor added to the fears of the economic situation in America, where the financial crisis due to banking decisions had created serious problems in the American financial system.
