Banks played a major part in the American economy in the early 19th century. Many entrepreneurs and farmers took out loans to start up their business, and banks often lent money without accounting for how much actual money they have. The sudden decrease in price of agricultural goods caused the farmers to not pay back the bank, and the bank couldn't supply themselves anymore.
