Slave depictions on obsolete bank notes
Hi,
I'm currently working on paper about the images of slavery on obsolete bank notes. Does anybody know why some of the motives were still used after the end of the Civil War, i.e. they were still printed on notes issed in the 1870s? Thank you for your help! |

I would suspect it was out of convenience to use a design that was already engraved and would cost less that way rather than any political statement on slavery in general. There was a museum exhibit somewhere in the past year ago on this subject by someone who had done a lot of research on the topic but I can't remember the details at the moment. A google search should bring up the information. |
