The United States became more reliant on money in the late 1800's than in previous years because of the Civil War expenses. The need for money to fund the war led the United States to start imposing income tax in 1862. Then, after the Civil War, there was a need for money to rebuild the South.

A famine in Ireland caused many to immigrate to the US in the mid 1800s. The Irish economy became too reliant of the potato crop which was the livelihood of about one third of the people at that time. A potato disease that had spread through Europe wasn't as serious a catastrophe until it came to Ireland, where much of the economy depended on the potato.
