Prior to the outbreak of the US Civil War, the Confederacy initiated financial steps to help fund their anticipated war with the Union. In March of 1861, the Provisional Congress of the Confederacy authorized the issuance of treasury notes up to one million dollars. The Confederacy was also bolstered by the $536,000 taken from the former US Mint in New Orleans.
