McAdoo, and continues: ‘The proceeds of the sale of these coins are to be used for the completion of the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial. Each purchaser of one of these Historic coins secures a badge of honor and helps to commemorate the valor of the men of the South who sacrificed and died for what they believed to be right.</p><p><br /></p><p>‘The issues which led to the Civil War have been settled happily in favor of a permanent union of the states, guaranteeing liberty, equality and security to all the people under the protection of Democratic institutions and the valor of men on both sides who made this possible is the common heritage of all.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;‘Let the people of the South in particular accept the present opportunity to buy these coins and thereby assure the completion of this great Stone Mountain Memorial as a tribute to their heroic sons.’[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
