Summary
A recession is a negative GDP growth for two consecutive quarters. Some recessions affect only some countries, while some are more global in nature. Early recessions in America can be dated back to 1785. The cause of early recessions was mainly the lack of strong currency. Loss of confidence in copper coins resulted in the panic of 1789. An embargo against Britain and France resulted in the recession of 1807.
Post the Napoleonic wars, Europe and the US experienced recessions. There was a reduction in international trade. In the US, unregulated banking, hard currency deficits, agrarian land bubble, reduction of exports, etc. caused the recession. This period saw the establishment of Second Bank of United States which will lose its charter in 1836.
Till 1863 there was no central banking system in the US. That
