Louisiana - $5, October 10, 1862, personification of the North and South in conflist, pelican feeding her young at left.
History: Between December, 1860, and April, 1861, eleven southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. Although paper money had played the same role in these states as it had in the North, the Civil War (1861-1865) was to place a heavier financial burden on the South. These bills reflect the buoyant hope and utter despair of a people that staked their all and lost. It is the symbol of expectancy and of tears. The Civil War left the South with commerce destroyed, credit impaired, and with production almost at a standstill.
