I read recently that the governor of Georgia, what was his name...Brown?...declared all debts owed to the North void; rescinded them, as it were. I'm not clear on exactly what that covered. Personal debts of the people of Georgia, owed to northern merchants along with state debts, or only money owed by the state to other states, the federal government, and/or private merchants.
Did those debts ever get paid? I've never seen anything else about that, although it occurs to me if they weren't paid during the war, by the time General Sherman got through with Georgia there probably wasn't much to pay WITH.
