Not on the train but it was found around 2018 and the FEDERAL government took it from a secret location in Pennsylvania where is was buried in the ground
It was a lie , the confederate state was broke by the time the union had taken Richmond !!! Most of the weapons & ammo were supplied by the troops themselves as in the confederate draft this was a requirement, or they would send you into battle without one !!! So the draftees sold whatever they had to get the supplies !
I don’t like to argue! My older brother gets SO ANGRY whenever we talk about the civil war! The war had NOTHING to do with slavery nor the confederacy flag! LOOK at Lincolns writing! The worst President EVER killed our own people!
That’s cool. I never knew anything really about the Michigan (My State) brigade doing anything significant. They caught the Confederate President. I can’t believe I missed that when I’ve always heard that he was caught disguised in his wife’s clothes. Idk if that’s true or not, but I’ve heard that story most of my life.
The story is on the History channel. It follows kidnapped and abandoned locomotive. The bank with connection to western mines where the gold was washed as a find. And the footage of finds on the bottom of Lake Michigan. And what it turned out to be after waiting for permits. The world hasn’t changed that much.
Maybe, just maybe, the treasure was not so great by that point in time. A long protracted war, especially one you are on the loosing side of, will do that to a treasury.
Additionally, if you still have a vast treasury left at the end of a loosing war, what does that say about your commitment to winning the war?
Most likely the gold had never left Richmond, the confederate must know that there are many spy and Union sympathisers in Richmond, to transport so much gold through rail, the risk would be too high. Best strategy is to use the train as decoy, buried the gold, and smuggle it out through under ground network when tension becomes more favourable to the confederate.
It was found and stolen by the commanding and executive officers. Then transported to a western mine, remelted and stamped. Then transported to Michigan where it lies at the bottom of Lake Michigan. Watch the search for civil war gold show with the same guys from the curse of oak island.

Its in between stops. I guarantee they got the idea from breaking bad

Everybody knows it’s in a river
The Confederacy was essentially dead broke when it surrendered!🙄
What business did the 7th Michigan have down there to begin with? That’s never been logically explained.
This is very important
There was hardly anything left by the end m.
How’s fort Knox BTW?
It was never loaded on the train..

Agh!!! Fooke !! Pity that they didn’t catch the c..ts🤔😖😉
Theives
Probably this never happened the CSA was broke and the treasure might be just a leyend

I know it wasn’t . He stole it.
Imagine there’s some good ol southern boys hoarding that gold in case the union turns tyrannical and ripe for revolution
Get me Nicholas cage now…..
Jefferson Davis only had a few dollars and was dressed like a woman
Never was any money. Confederates probably didn’t have two nickels to rub together by the end

Where is it now?
They spent it. 🫣
As a descendant of the last person in charge of the Confederate treasury, I can say it didn’t show up in our family.
The DEMOCRATS are still spending that money
And that’s why the south is doing so well? No, a bunch of ex-Confederate generals stole it and divided it up for their personal enrichment.
Sounds like the current administration same antics
WHEN JD WAS CAPTURED HE WAS DRESSED AS A WOMAN
Abbeville, South Carolina is a good place to start looking.

When captured, you forgot to mention, he was disguised as a woman.
Hope they never find it long live the SOUYH,
As greedy as men are, I bet the treasure has been spent on women, booze and the rest gambled away…
Sure all that was spent long ago.
Gen Toombs daughters were General Sherman’s concubines, that is why it was not burned down. Washington, Ga.
The gold was originally taken off Indian land, the gov was put in charge of the Cherokee gold
It was found and stolen by the commanding and executive officers. Then transported to a western mine, remelted and stamped. Then transported to Michigan where it lies at the bottom of Lake Michigan. Watch the search for civil war gold show with the same guys from the curse of oak island.
My wife’s family on her father’s side lived in Danville, VA. The last capital of the Confederacy.
Sounds like the making of another National Treasure movie! Anybody seen Ben and Riley?
You just got to know what the path of the river was when they threw it off the train bridge
Bullshit
There was no Confederate gold. Confederate currency was worthless.
It never left Richmond, it’s buried in a cave on the bank of the James river…
DEO VINDIC
I bet Judah Benjamin took it.
Given the inflation rate for the CSA, the "riches" of the south, are about as exaggerated to the same mythic portions as the myth of the lost cause.
Hackley got it and built Muskegon Michigan.
Wasn’t Jefferson Davis captured in drag while trying to flee Richmond
