The Images
Many Southern notes did not feature images of slavery; this
exhibit
focuses on the ones that did. This collection features notes issued
and circulated in the South during the Antebellum, Civil War, and
Reconstruction Eras. Notes were issued by various entities,
including the Confederate government, state governments,
merchants, and railroad companies.
