Who used them? Southern sympathizers such as copperheads? Rebels when writing to people in the north? Could it be people "rebelling" about some issue other than the civil war?
I don't know but here is a Martha Washington one. From this I think it could be someone saying that the revolutionary war heroes were also considered rebels in their war?
I can't say much about the purpose of the cover, but the female vignette was very likely copied from an 1850s Georgia banknote. The full vignette, which includes four figures, appears on a Vermont banknote from the same era.
