American Civil War
Collection of 23 used deposit forms issued during the 1880's by the Bondholders Committee to individual holders of Confederate War Bonds. These documents summarized CSA bonds deposited with the National Safe Deposit Company, Limited of England. The purpose of the British Bondholder Committee was to pool all of the outstanding Confederate Bonds purchased by England with an attempt to collect on them. Bondholders would deposit their bonds into an account and were given a Scrip Certificate in exchange. Payment was never made on the bonds since the Confederacy no longer existed after the War and the U.S. would not honor the payment. B
