People were growing anxious about the unsureness of the security if their money. Consumers started spending less and the wealthy were pulling all assets and investments out of the economy. Bankruptcies went the roof. The first bank panics began when a bank failed in Nashville, Tennessee starting a wave of bank failures in the Southeast.
