The Panic of 1893 led to a severe economic depression in the United States, resulting in widespread unemployment, business failures, and bank collapses. It triggered significant social unrest, including labor strikes and protests, as people struggled with poverty and joblessness. The crisis also prompted a shift in monetary policy debates, intensifying the conflict between advocates of the gold standard and supporters of free silver.
