I agree that it is not a sentence.

[edit] No remedies listed

Is it just me or are no actual remedies listed underneath "remedies" there are details of failed remedies but no mention of what actually worked. Was it that the lowered tariffs had some effect on the economy? If so, what was it?

Don't think that there was any single "remedy" whose application single-handedly led to recovery. There was some reining-in of banks at the individual state level, the pendulum of the business cycle began to swing in the other direction, and finally the coming of the civil war had a certain stimulating effect on the Northern economy.
