Detailed explanation-1: -Retrenchment was a common response of the South to state debts during the depression. One by one, each state fell to the Democrats in the South, and the Republicans lost power. The end of the crisis coincided with the beginning of the great wave of immigration to the United States, which lasted until the early 1920s.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Panic of 1873 triggered the first ‘Great Depression’ in the United States and abroad. Lasting from September 1873 until 1878/9, the economic downturn then became known as the Long Depression after the stock market crash of 1929.
Detailed explanation-3: -With the election following the Panic of 1873, Grant’s Republican Party was crushed in the elections, losing their majority and almost half their seats to the Democratic Party. This was the first period of Democratic control since the pre-war era.
Detailed explanation-4: -The nationwide economic depression of 1873 further weakened the Republican Party, and Democrats regained the House of Representatives in 1874. The financial panic of 1873 and the subsequent economic depression helped bring Reconstruction to a formal end.
