Description

This is a Missouri Defence Bond issued in 1861 during the American Civil War. These bonds were issued by the state of Missouri to raise funds for its defense during the conflict. Missouri was a border state with divided loyalties, making its financial situation complex during the war. These bonds represent a fascinating intersection of finance and history, reflecting the economic pressures and political tensions of the Civil War era. The imagery and text on the bond offer insights into the state's efforts to maintain its sovereignty and fund its military needs. Today, these bonds are sought after by collectors interested in Civil War memorabilia and the financial history of the United States.
