| Issued by the Confederate States of America from only August 1862 to January 1863, these $100 currency notes feature an image of two African-American slaves working in a cotton field. The imagery is as controversial today as it was in the 1860s; one that provides an indelible reminder of the stark ideological differences between the North and the South during this critical era in American history. These are from a small hoard of scarce notes that survived destruction. Each looks nearly as fresh as the day it was printed. Order yours now. |
