Bill for $500, Confederate States of America, 1864. $500 bill combining patriotic emblems of the Confederate Flag and the Great Seal of the Confederacy with a portrait of Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson the famous Confederate commander. During the American Civil War the southern states attempted to separate themselves from the Union. They formed the Confederate States of America and issued paper money a national currency for the seceding southern states. The number of notes issued increased dramatically with the costs of the war, finally totalling over eighty million banknotes. The early Confederate notes often borrowed designs from the notes of private banks. However, later issues featured images celebrating the South, ranging from African-Americans working in the cotton-fields, to scenes of military action against the North. CM, PM 232
