The Panic of 1873 was a financial crisis triggered by the collapse of the banking firm Jay Cooke & Company, which heavily invested in railroads. This event led to widespread bank failures, a Stock Market crash, and a severe economic depression that lasted for several years. Unemployment soared, and many businesses went bankrupt, ultimately contributing to a significant shift in economic policy and debates over the gold standard versus the use of silver. The crisis highlighted vulnerabilities in the burgeoning industrial economy and led to increased regulation in the financial sector.

The Panic of 1873 resulted in a severe economic depression that lasted for several years, particularly affecting the United States and Europe. It was triggered by the collapse of the investment bank Jay Cooke & Company, which had heavily invested in railroads. The ensuing financial crisis led to widespread bank failures, high unemployment, and a significant contraction in economic activity, ultimately contributing to a lengthy period of economic stagnation known as the Long Depression. This crisis also highlighted the vulnerabilities in the banking system and the speculative nature of railroad investments at the time.
