Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • The Second Bank of the United States played a major role in triggering the Panic of 1819.


  • The Second Bank sought to regulate the national economy through loans to state and local banks.


  • In 1819, the Second Bank clamped down on local wildcat banks that had extended credit to many people who could not repay their loans.


  • Many western farmers relied on credit from banks and local private lenders.


  • As a result, the banks crackdown on wildcat banks had a devastating impact on western households.


  • Ruined by the Panic of 1819, many western farmers developed an abiding hatred of the Bank of the United States and a deep resentment of eastern financiers.
