Title	Wilson Shannon 1840 State of State Address
Subject	Ohio Government; Presidents and Politics; Governors
Place	Columbus (Ohio); Franklin County (Ohio); Warren Township (Ohio); Belmont County (Ohio)
Description	Governor Wilson Shannon delivered an annual message to the General Assembly of Ohio on Dec. 8, 1840. These 32 pages comprise Document 1 of the 1840/1841 Executive Documents. Shannon (1802-1877) served as Ohio’s 14th and 16th governor – from 1838 to 1840, and from 1842 to 1844, when he resigned. The major issue during Shannon’s administrations was that of banking and currency. As a Democrat, Shannon felt that the financial crisis was due to the banks and over-circulation of currency, and thus advocated a program of broad banking reform.
