The CSA Constitution consisted of five vellum sheets pasted together at over 12' long and rolled, signed by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas (these 7 states, soon after, grew to 11).

This manuscript was part of a wagonload of boxes discovered at the railroad station in Chester, South Carolina in April of 1865 by a newspaper war correspondent. The boxes, which had been abandoned by fleeing troops, contained the records of the Confederate government, which were being sent South after the evacuation of Richmond. Among the records recovered were the two Constitutions of the Confederacy, Provisional and Permanent. He sold the ‘Provisional Constitution’ at auction in New York in 1883 which is now in the American Civil War Museum in Richmond. He sold the ‘Permanent Constitution’ to DeRenne Family in July 1883 where they sold it to The University of Georgia in 1939.

Confederate currency was issued by the Confederate States of America during the Civil War (1861 – 1865) to finance the war effort and assert sovereignty. The first series, known as the "Montgomery Issue," was authorized in March 1861 and circulated shortly after, featuring denominations from $50 to $1,000 and initially backed by gold and silver deposits. Over the war, 70–72 different series were issued, with designs ranging from portraits of historical figures to allegorical images, trains, ships, and depictions of enslaved people. As the war progressed, the notes lost backing by precious metals and were ultimately redeemable only by a promise of post-war payment, which never materialized, rendering them worthless as currency after the Confederacy's defeat.

Denominations: 50 cents, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1,000

Printing: Notes were often printed on rice paper or other available materials, hand-signed, and hand-cut, leading to irregular edges.

Designs: Included Confederate leaders, allegorical figures, and local scenes; some notes were printed by state or local banks - adding variety.

Counterfeits: Both Northern and Southern counterfeit notes circulated, making authentication important for collectors.
