"Confederate States of America... Loan... One Thousand Dollars...," March 25, 1863
Add to SetSummary
To help raise money, the Confederate States of America issued bonds. Early in the Civil War, these bonds seemed a worthwhile, even patriotic, investment to the Southerners who bought them. The war was going well for the Confederacy and the bonds promised a tidy profit in interest. At war's end, Southerners were left holding now worthless Confederate bonds.
