The Farmers' & Mechanics' Bank of Savannah was operating in increasingly desperate circumstances by 1864. Sherman's March to the Sea was still months away, but the Confederacy's banking infrastructure was already collapsing under hyperinflation — Confederate Treasury notes had lost the majority of their purchasing power, and local institutions were issuing their own obligations partly to maintain the fiction of a functioning financial system.
Savannah fell to Union forces in December 1864, effectively ending the bank's ability to honor any outstanding paper. Notes issued this late in the war were almost never redeemed.
