    Eventually, over several years, the economy expands enough to recover those losses.

    Collapsing into full civil war would be pretty much the only way it doesn’t. Which isn’t out of the question

      Even full civil war wouldn’t do it. The NYSE has been operating mostly continuously since 1817 (and even longer under different organization).

      To permanently collapse the US economy, you’d have to collapse the entire country government, and a lot of the infrastructure too. Even if the government shuts down, private industry keeps running.
