Greenbacks and National Banks Debate in 19th Century NY
A long argument discusses whether United States notes, or greenbacks, count as money for taxation. The piece defends their status as government obligations, not coin, and argues exemptions from taxation. It defends National banks as nonmonopolistic, outlines profits, and recounts how Lincoln and Chase supported a national banking system for a safe currency.
