Whoever is ready and willing to work, will have work; and the more he does, the more work will come to him. Work does not seek the idle man, but thrusts itself upon the industrious one.
Confederate Money
c. 1860s
These particular bills, currently kept in storage, were issued by the Confederate States in 1862 and 1864. We have an example of the 50 cent, 2 dollar, 5 dollar, 10 dollar, 20 dollar, and 50 dollar notes. Secretary Seward’s sons, Augustus and Will Jr, were both Union soldiers who could have acquired this money during the war.
