The Depression of 1837. Van Buren perversely refused to recognize the signs of crisis. In his inaugural address he praised the expanding economy and predicted an acceleration of the boom; one month later, a full-scale depression had begun. Business failures, forced sales of farms and plantations, factory closings, and spreading unemployment signaled the end of the great boom.
