The Panic of 1837 was caused by a period of runaway inflation after the dissolution of the 2nd Bank of the US. This inflation caused President Jackson to issue the Specie Circular, mandating that all land be paid for in either gold or silver only. In turn, the Specie Circular caused a complete reversal in the market and caused a period of drastic deflation. This led to record-high unemployment and the failure of many state banks.
