Description
Confederate
money
was not
backed
by
hard
assets
;
rather
it
was a
promissory
note
that
ensured
the
bearer
a
certain
amount
of
money
if the
South
could
guarantee
its
independence
and
win
the
war
. As the
tide
of the
war
turned
towards
the
North
,
Confederate
currency
became
inflated
and
began
to
lose
power
.
Most
bills
featured
an
inscription
like
this
one
,
which
said“Two
Years
after
the
ratification
of a
treaty
of
peace
between
the
Confederate
States
and the
United
States
the
Confederate
States
of
America
will
pay
Ten
Dollars
to the
bearer.”
The
dates
would be
pushed
further
and
further
out
as
hopes
of a
Southern
victory
diminished
.
