The State of Arkansas was admitted to the Union on June 15, 1836 and seceded from that Union on May 6, 1861. Arkansas was officially admitted to the Confederacy on May 18, 1861. For 12 days we were a state without a country.  Arkansas issued a number of different series of Treasury Warrants and War Bonds during the Civil War to finance governmental operations.
