	Confederate Finance and Supply
		Memminger had received an education in law, spent most of his early years in Charleston, South Carolina, where he gained fame as a man who believed in sound finance and hard money, and who had banking experience.
		If Memminger had gone along with Benjamin's plan to export cotton to Europe and hold it there as a basis for the South's currency, the value of the Confederate dollar might have maintained a sound position and this could have insured victory for the South.
		In 1945 the Memminger home called "Rock Hill" was bought by Carl Sandburg, the poet and Lincoln biographer, who changed the name of the estate to 'Connemara' and has since made it his permanent residence.

	Inventory of the John W. Anderson Diary: 1861-1866(bulk: 1867)
		At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Anderson impulsively enlisted in a company of infantry mustered in Sparta, Ala., to answer the call to defend Fort Pickens, Fla. After the company was sent back home without seeing action, Anderson travelled to Montgomery, Ala.
		Due so some assiduous lobbying, Anderson was soon appointed (26 Feb. 1861) Corresponding Clerk in the office of C. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury for the Confederacy.
		Contemplating suspended publication of The Spartan for at least a month, Anderson mused that inevitably the exigencies of war would require the complete suspension of such a small business enterprise anyway, so it was just as well he had acquired other employment.
