Speculation during the Civil War – Encyclopedia Virginia


Richmond Examiner, “is the most mortifying feature of the war.” The editor of the
Lynchburg Virginian charged that prosperous farmers “were grinding the faces of the poor, and destroying the cause of their country.” A former army officer observed the speculation and fortunes that were being made in tobacco and wrote, “Lynchburg has gone mad running stark mad men, women & children … all tobacco tobacco from morning till night from night till morning.” Public meetings in Amherst, Buckingham, and Nelson counties denounced speculation and urged that the state legislature ban the growing of tobacco.
Virginia governor William Smith, in his inaugural address in January 1864, called for a legal ceiling on prices. Even Confederate president Jefferson Davis, who knew that inflation occurs “where the amount to be sold is too small for the number of consumers” and who urged a “radical reform of the currency,” joined in the chorus against speculators.

Arriving in Paris in August, Patsy soon entered the Abbaye Royale de Panthemont, a prestigious convent boarding school that educated mainly daughters of Catholic aristocrats. Largely because of her schooldays at the Panthemont, Martha considered the years she spent in Paris the “brightest part” of her life. A gregarious adolescent who liked jokes, mixed readily with others, and relished her limited independence, she quickly became fluent in French and popular among her classmates.

After electing Randolph its first captain, the company, which was recruited from elite Richmond circles, marched to Charles Town, Virginia (now West Virginia), to help provide security during Brown’s trial and subsequent execution. Curious out-of-towners had flooded into Jefferson County, taxing the authorities’ ability to keep order. In addition, a series of damaging fires had swept through the area, and the locals pointed their fingers at allies of the accused. Virginia governor Henry A. Wise called for militia support, including the Howitzers, the cadets from the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington (commanded by Thomas J.
