25 Feb 1862 Jahr - Legal Tender Act

Beschreibung:

The Act authorized issuance of paper money, United States Notes, to finance the war without raising taxes.[2] The paper money depreciated in terms of gold and became the subject of controversy, particularly because debts contracted earlier could be paid in this cheaper currency.[3]
