Abstract

The new U.S. generally conformed to the British monetary system (except for its multitude of banks), with a commitment to the gold standard except in war time. The monetary problems addressed in this chapter are the post-War of 1812 and Civil War resumptions, the choice between a national bank and an independent treasury as the monetary authority, and the gold v. silver contest during the late 19th century deflation.
