Panic Of 1819

The Panic of 1819 crippled America’s economy, forced endless business closures, and left many without the ability to repay loans. In Kentucky, the Debt Relief Party emerged and soon dominated both houses of the state legislature. A series of controversial legislative reforms followed, and the state was soon divided between competing visions of reform. The so-called relief controversy brought new and particularly unwelcome attention to Horace and his university; politically charged attacks against him manifested in charges of heterodoxy, corruption, and vice. This chapter examines the ensuing controversy and describes Presbyterian-backed efforts to dislodge Horace from the presidency.
