The Legal Tender Cases of 1871 is a historical book written by I. Smith Homans and published in 1872. This book is a detailed account of the legal cases that arose in the United States in 1871, regarding the use of paper money as legal tender. The book begins with a brief history of the use of paper money in the United States, tracing its origins back to the colonial era. It then goes on to describe the legal challenges that arose in the aftermath of the Civil War, when the government began issuing paper money to finance the war effort. The central issue in these cases was whether paper money, which was not backed by gold or silver, could be considered legal tender for the payment of debts. The book provides a thorough analysis of the legal arguments presented by both sides, as well as the opinions of the Supreme Court justices who heard the cases. In addition to its legal analysis, the book also provides valuable insights into the economic and political climate of the time. It describes the debates that took place in Congress over the use of paper money, as well as the reactions of the public and the business community to the legal tender cases. Overall, The Legal Tender Cases of 1871 is an important historical document that provides a detailed and insightful account of a significant moment in American legal and economic history.Decision Of The Supreme Court Of The United States, December Term, 1870, In The Cases Of Knox Vs.
