Examples of Southern State Issued Banknotes of the Confederacy
ARKANSAS
Arkansas entered the Union as a slave state on June 15, 1836. To equal the balance of power between free and slave states, Michigan entered the union as a non-slave state on the same date. In 1844, Arkansas was the first state to write an amendment that outlawed all banks which remained in effect until 1868. In March 1861, a state convention voted against secession from the Union, but two months later on May 6, 1861 by a 69-1 vote, the convention decided to secede. Eventually Arkansas was split with the Union controlling the northern half with their capital at Little Rock and the Confederacy controlling the southern half, with their capital at Washington.
