We don't want this confederate cash from the Civil War-should we sell it, donate it, or throw it away?
Briefly

The article discusses the dilemma faced by an individual who inherited Confederate money, feeling conflicted about its value and implications. While considering selling it to donate to charity, they worry about the proceeds falling into the wrong hands. The article suggests that, rather than being bought by racists, such money is likely to be appreciated by collectors or historians. Selling could yield significant value, enabling charitable contributions. Alternatively, donating directly to a museum or historical organization could also be a noble option, possibly resulting in tax benefits.
"Confederate money, though controversial, can hold significant value. If one inherits it but feels conflicted, selling it to benefit a charity might serve a greater purpose."
"The possibility of Confederate money being sold to a historian or enthusiast rather than a racist is high, alleviating concerns about its potential misuse."
