This dissertation examines the Atlantic-scale economic boom and bust economy of the 1850s and the economic origins of mass political antislavery in the U.S. Old Northwest during the boom years. The decade's economic expansion began with the inflation of money and credit throughout the American and British banking systems after infusions of gold discovered in California (1848) and Australia (1850). British and American banks, capitalists, and governments focused the new money above all into the expansion of British-American trade and railroad construction in the U.S. Old Northwest. These investments could not continue once the decade's inflation came to an end. This dissertation shows that Bank of England deflation in 1856 was the primary factor behind the declines that caused the Panic of 1857. It also argues that it was no coincidence of timing that the highs of the boom and the crash of the Panic occurred alongside the creation and ascendance of the Republican Party in the Old Northwest: The region's farmers turned to the Republican Party between 1854 and 1856 specifically to protect their concept of labor and the wealth of the boom years from the "Slave Power." After the Panic of 1857, Old Northwestern Republicans united their party behind homestead legislation as the solution to both economic crises and slavery expansion. "The Political Economy of Crisis, 1848-1860" recasts the heretofore distinct topics of money and banking, railroad economics, the origins of the Republican Party, and the Panic of 1857 as intercausal phenomena to show how economic boom and bust in the 1850s profoundly influenced the coming of the Civil War.
