An
expanding economy tempted the Bank of Maryland in Baltimore to over extend itself, and by
1834 had issued fifty times as much paper money as it had gold and silver
reserves to back it up. The savings of small depositors turned into worthless
bank IOU's. Several bank directors who owed large sums to the bank used the
opportunity to buy up the IOU's at pennies on the dollar, and then use the
worthless paper to repay their loans. In August 1835 an angry mob targeted
the bank directors and mayor. The state militia was called out, and at least
twelve rioters were killed.
