<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 35030, member: 1910&quot;]You know, I&#039;ve always wondered about something.&nbsp; Because the Confederacy never surrendered or officially declared itself out of existence (the various states simply &quot;rejoined&quot; the Union), the acts of the Confederate Congress would still carry authority.&nbsp; I do realize that the Confederate writ ceased to be enforced in the late spring of 1865, but no one ever actually &quot;un-did&quot; the acts.&nbsp; Except in South Carolina, and even there it was of highly dubious legality.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is this:&nbsp; If a spineless politician (or brave one, depending on your own politics) ever decided that the South was right and was able to institute a peace treaty with the CSA (the huge legal issues of that notwithstanding), would I be eligible for $25.50 face value in gold or silver coin?&nbsp; Perhaps even accounting for interest and inflation? </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
