The CSA Constitution consisted of five vellum sheets pastedtogether and rolled, signed by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas (these 7 states, soon after, grew to 11).
This manuscript was part of a wagonload of boxes discoveredat the railroad station in Chester, South Carolina in April of 1865 by anewspaper war correspondent. The boxes, which had been abandoned by fleeingtroops, contained the records of the Confederate government, which were beingsent South after the evacuation of Richmond. Among the records recovered werethe two Constitutions of the Confederacy, Provisional and Permanent.He sold the ‘Provisional Constitution’ at sale in New York in 1883 which isnow in the American Civil War Museum in Richmond. He sold the ‘PermanentConstitution’ to DeRenne Family in July 1883 where they sold it to TheUniversity of Georgia in 1939.
Confederate currency was issued by the Confederate States ofAmerica during the Civil War (1861 – 1865) to finance the war effort and assertsovereignty. The first series, known as the "Montgomery Issue," wasauthorized in March 1861 and circulated shortly after, featuring denominationsfrom $50 to $1,000 and initially backed by gold and silver deposits. Over thewar, 70–72 different series were issued, with designs ranging from portraits ofhistorical figures to allegorical images, trains, ships and depictions ofenslaved people. As the war progressed, the notes lost backing by preciousmetals and were ultimately redeemable only by a promise of post-war payment,which never materialized… rendering them worthless as currency after theConfederacy's defeat.
Denominations: 50 cents, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100,$500, $1,000
