The Panic of 1893 was a serious economic depression in the United States that began in 1893. Similar to the Panic of 1873 it was marked by the collapse of railroad overbuilding and shaky railroad financing, resulting in a series of bank failures. Compounding market overbuilding and the railroad bubble, was a run on the gold supply. The Panic of '93 was the worst economic depression the United States had ever experienced at the time.
