I once had to do a small presentation on the Panic of 1837 in high school, and it was one of the most impenetrably boring historical episodes to try to talk about. There is very little of that era that is easy to relate to as a modern American, few compelling characters, and an overwhelming sense of "none of this even amounted to anything, really."
I'm sure some resident expert in the Panic of 1837 will see this as a horrible insult to everything they stand for, but I've said my piece.
