The Confederate Army’s losses at the battles of Gettysburg and
Vicksburg in July 1863 marked a turning point in America’s Civil
War, one that was not favorable for furthering the cause of
“Southern Independence.” With the hopes of an overall military
victory for the Confederacy now beginning to fade, the
clandestine leaders of the KGC took the movement fully
underground, secreting not only their commands and
communications, but also their amassed wealth and weapons. There
is sufficient circumstantial evidence to suggest that significant
amounts of gold and silver as well as armaments had been
collected by the KGC from agents, members and sympathizers, but
that then begs the question, where did it all go? If a vast,
non-centralized network of money and guns needed to be kept from
the hands of a dominant and soon to be victorious Union
government, what methodology could a secret organization use to
hide it all, and who and what system could be trusted to find it
again when it was needed? Part Two of our series on the Knights
of the Golden Circle takes a look at where they may have gotten
their gains, and what legendary names, famous and infamous, may
have helped them.

Tonight’s Quote:

“It’s my damn story, and if they don’t believe it I’m not gonna
worry about it, damn it. Pardon my French.”
