Cette base de données numérique de la commission de l’histoire de l’Arkansas (Arkansas History Commission) contient des extraits des détails sur les veuves et les vétérans confédérés tirés des Dossiers des pensions des soldats confédérés de 1891 à 1939.

This digital database from the Arkansas History Commission (AHC) extracts details on Confederate veterans and widows from Arkansas Confederate pension records from the years 1891–1939.

Unlike former Union troops, Confederate veterans could not look to the federal government for pensions, whether for disability, age, or service. Most of the former Confederate states eventually passed legislation to provide pensions to veterans residing in their states. Arkansas began providing grants to Confederate veterans in 1891. Widows and mothers of veterans became eligible in 1915.
