Why were there widespread bank closures in 1929?

The main reason that the banks closed, was because of "a run on the banks." This was people who would rush to the bank, to take their money out. Also, because of bad regulation of the federal government, the banks were in terrible shape. In 1933, after Franklin D. Roosevelt, took over the office of President of the United States, he went to work on the "New Deal," he promised to the country. President Roosevelt's first task was to reopen the banks. He first closed every bank in the country by declaring a nationwide "bank holiday." He then authorized the treasury to supervise the reopening of only those banks which were financially sound. He went on the radio in a Fireside Chat to explain the government's movements and plead for confidence. Within days many of the banks were open, and depositors returned with their funds. By April confidence was restored and the crisis ended. To prevent a recurrence of the panic, Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). People no longer needed to fear bank failures, for the government guaranteed that their funds were protected.

Why was there more banks in the north than the south?

The North had more banks than the South due to its more diversified economy, which included manufacturing, commerce, and a growing population that created a demand for financial services. The industrialization in the North fostered urban centers where banks could thrive, while the Southern economy was primarily agrarian and reliant on cash crops like cotton, leading to less need for banking institutions. Additionally, the North's more developed transportation infrastructure facilitated trade and investment, further encouraging the establishment of banks.


How were banks regulated between 1836 and the civil war?

Between 1836 and the Civil War, banks in the United States were primarily regulated at the state level, leading to a patchwork of banking laws. Many states adopted "free banking" laws, allowing banks to operate with minimal oversight, often requiring them to back their notes with state bonds. This period saw a proliferation of banks, but also frequent bank failures and issues with banknote counterfeiting. The lack of a central regulatory authority created significant instability in the banking system leading up to the Civil War.
