Rare Confederate Vice-President Alexander Stephens Lithograph and Autograph, Plus Confederate $20 Bill
ALEXANDER HAMILTON STEPHENS (1812-1883). Vice President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. 50th Governor of Georgia from 1882 until his death in 1883.
Framed Set of Three Items, beautifully framed together for display from Alexander Stephens, Civil War-era Politician and Vice President of the Confederate States of America. This Display includes an Engraving by Samuel Sartain at top that measures 4.5” x 6.5” (by sight) with his facsimile signature below; along with an original Handwritten Autograph Card Signed and dated, “Alexander H. Stephens M.C. of Ga., Washington D.C., March 1880.” This Card measures 3.75” x 2.25”. Both are nicely mounted and framed along with a February 17, 1864-Dated $20 Note from the Confederate States of America bearing Alexander Stephens portrait at the lower right. An impressive Vintage wooden frame with gilt detailing measures approximately 17.5” x 23.5” houses this Set and is ready to hang upon display.
Alexander Hamilton Stephens (1812-1883) was a United States politician. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives (1843-1859), where he defended Slavery but opposed Secession. When Georgia did secede from the United States, he was elected Vice-President of the Confederate States of America.
He supported constitutional government, and opposed attempts by Jefferson Davis to infringe on individual rights. He also advocated a program of prisoner exchanges, and led the delegation to the Hampton Roads Conference in 1865. After the war he was imprisoned in Boston for five months, then was elected to the Senate (1866), but was refused his seat.
He served again in the United States House of Representatives (1873-1882) and as Governor of Georgia (1882-1883). He is buried on his estate, Liberty Hall, near Crawfordsville, Georgia.
