As a result of the Panic of 1857, the southern economy suffered little whereas the northern economy took a significant hit and made a slow recovery. The area affected the most by the Panic was the Great Lakes region and the troubles of that region were "quickly passed to those enterprises in the East that depended upon western sales." In about a year, much of the economy in the north and the entire south recovered from the Panic. Near the end of the Panic, in about 1859, tensions between the north and south regarding the issue of slavery were increasing. The Panic of 1857 encouraged those in the South who believed idea that the north needed the south to keep a stabilized economy and southern threats of secession were temporarily quelled. Southerners believed the Panic of 1857 made the north "more amenable to southern demands" and would help to keep slavery alive in the United States.

“Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence.... It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one’s rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
