The Eastern Bank of Alabama was chartered in Eufaula, a prosperous cotton-trading town on the Chattahoochee River, and operated during the final years before Alabama state banks collapsed under the pressure of secession-era finance. By 1861, most Alabama bank notes were trading at steep discounts or being refused outright as the state moved toward Confederate currency systems.
ABNC's involvement is significant here — their New York engraving work was among the finest available to Southern banks before the war severed those commercial relationships entirely. After 1861, no Alabama institution could place printing orders with a New York firm.
