Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Coxey's Army" was a group who protested the government's inaction in the Panic of 1893.
Key Takeaway: During the Panic of 1893, the laissez-faire approach to the government in America's Gilded Age took a toll. The Panic was characterized by banks closing, business collapse, and a staggering growth in unemployment. The government failed to respond to the Panic or the depression that followed. In protest, Jacob Coxey organized a group, called "Coxey's Army," which marched to Washington, DC, to protest President Cleveland's lack of action.
