This was a super messy economic era for the US with a shit ton of economic crisis and monetary issues were a big part of the mess, that's why the Fed ended up being created.

Most of that was due to the government's attempts to manipulate the money, such as bimetalism.

We've also had quite a history of crashes, crises, inflation, etc., since the Fed was created.
