Why did civil war pensions cause a problem for the US treasury?
Not to be confused with the Vietnam War, because that was not a civil war (two separate nations fought that war). The US Civil War involved strictly Americans (Northerners vs Southerners); was Congress to pay both adversaries, both Northerners & Southerners? When the Southerners were actually committing treason by attacking their own US Government? Thus the official name of the American Civil War..."The War of the Rebellion" (Rebellion against the US Government). Thus, the US Congress had to either pay just the Northerners (Federal, Union, Yankee Armies, US Army, US Navy, etc.) or both...THEY WERE BOTH AMERICANS. This may have caused "a problem" for the US treasury department.
