of or belonging to the
Confederacy: the
group of eleven Southern
States that seceded from (withdrew formally from membership in) the United
States in 1860 and 1861. Used humorously in this lecture in
reference to the
fact that the
Confederacy never issued a three-dollar
bill, and the
money that they did
issue became worthless after their defeat in 1865.
