Alabama Five-Dollar Note
Dated "Jan. 1st, 1864."
Dated "Jan. 1st, 1864."
| The printing firm of J. T. Paterson & Company in Augusta, Georgia, not only produced some of North Carolina's currency, it also printed paper money for other states, including Alabama. This 1864 Paterson note depicts at its center a mounted overseer watching his slaves toiling in the field. In stark contradiction to the reality of this social order, the female figure Libertas (far left) represents freedom. |
