Frederick ends Civil War debt with final $200000 installment
Frederick city plans to pay the last $200000 principal on the Civil War ransom Thursday October 1 as interest accrues over 87 years. Officials say no ceremony is planned with Citizens National Bank acting as paying agent. The event marks a historic liquidation tied to General Jubal Early's 1864 raid and the city’s long effort to fund bonds.
