Texas v. White 7 Wallace 700 (1869). The case was Texas v. White. The state of Texas brought suit in the United States Supreme Court to have certain United States government bonds declared the property of the state, and to prevent the present holders of the bonds from collecting upon them. Texas had owned the bonds before the Civil War. As a means of financing during the war, while Texas was a member of the Confederacy, the bonds were sold. Texas now claimed that the sale was void and the bonds still belonged to the state. 13 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Pages: 13 Bibliography: 2 source(s) listed Filename: 4093 Texas Vs.
