This bond, issued after an Act of Congress passed by the Confederacy on February 17, 1864, was used to raise monies for desperately needed supplies and food for the beleaguered Confederate troops. The George Washington equestrian statue was depicted as Washington was considered a "founding father" of America, giving credibility to the Southern cause. Confederate bonds, backed by cotton exports, were bought primarily by European investors who were supporting the South during the Civil War (1861-1865). Four-fifths of the cotton for the flourishing textile mills of Great Britain and Western Europe came from the Confederacy. The Union's blockade of Confederate seaports (1864) made it impossible for the South to get cotton to Europe and led to default on bonds and other loans. Lightly creased with folds.  Overall, fine condition. Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items. Place a Bid!
