The first nonmythical, historical woman to appear on any paper currency within our current borders was not on a U.S. bill but rather on Confederate money: “Queen of the Confederacy” Lucy Holcombe Pickens (and South Carolina’s first lady) was portrayed on Confederate $1 bills of 1862 and 1863 and the $100 bill of 1862 through 1864.
In other words, contrary to news reports, Lucy Pickens was actually the first woman to be depicted on paper money issued in America, and not Pocahontas Harriet Tubman or Martha Washington.

"We feel that our cause is just and holy; we protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we desire peace at any sacrifice save that of honour and independence; we ask no conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were lately confederated; all we ask is to be let alone; that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms." -- Jefferson Davis - April 29, 1861

In the exergon the word Virginia over the head of Virtus, and underneath the words "Sic Semper Tyrannis." This flag shall be known and respected as the flag of Virginia; and

#AN_D_0000_on_16_T_HH_APP_RÍ_LĻĽŁ_MMMM_AI_BELL_LO0000oooooVED_#CC_BIT_CHI feel now is a good time to remind folk that the South was defending their homes, and fighting for Liberty, much like their forefathers were less than 100 years prior. Wearing their kin's clothing in fact.
George Washington himself was in the seal of the Confederacy....

“As of the causes of the war it will of course be understood that every former Confederate, repudiates all accusations of treason or rebellion in the war, and even of fighting to preserve the institution of slavery….
The unanimity and the desperation of our resistance… clearly show our struggle, to have been for that right of self-government…”
— Confederate Artillery Chief, General E. Porter Alexander, in his memoirs writing on the Cause of the War for Southern Independence
