erate government collapsed to leave its bonds and currency in the hands of Confederate citizens worthless pieces of paper? Will it be impossible in the day that the federal government in Washington is absolutely forced to default on its entire national debt, while the politicians tell the citizens that it is their “patriotic” duty to accept this nightmare of confiscation and start all over again from scratch, as the confederation had to do?
