The direct cause of the Panic of 1837 was the vetoing of the Bank Bull by president Andrew Jackson. This was a serious financial crisis in the United States.
There were a number of causes to the financial crisis known as "The Panic of 1837", including the economic policies of President Jackson and most of the banks of the area, ceasing payment in silver and gold.
Over-speculation and Jackson's financial policies.
Andrew Jackson's belief in laissez-faire, which advocated minimal government intervention in the economy, contributed to the prolongation of economic inequality and the concentration of wealth among a few. This approach also allowed for unregulated banking practices and speculation, which were partly responsible for the financial instability leading up to the Panic of 1837. Additionally, Jackson's policies favored westward expansion and the interests of landowners, often at the expense of Indigenous peoples, further entrenching social and economic disparities in the United States.
Jackson when given the opportunity declined the renewal of the national bank which ended up causing the Panic of 1837

The economy tanked after Jackson left office. The bad economic times no doubt caused the defeat of Jackson's successor. Van Buren , when he ran for a second term in 1840 .
