Problem
Create your own cartoon depicting Americans' encounters with economic crisis and misfortune during the 1830s. Begin this problem by envisioning yourself as someone living in the United States and experiencing the economic turmoil leading up to and including the Panic of 1837. Some questions to consider: Who and/or what is responsible for the crisis? How has the crisis or misfortune affected you, your family, and your community? Is it perceived as good or bad? Who or what do you believe will solve the crisis?
