I noticed that there was nothing in the article about the state being forbidden from deficit spending due partially to the conflict, so I added the last paragraph. --206.255.185.237 03:52, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but you're incorrect. There has NEVER been a provision in the Arkansas Constitution of 1874 banning deficit spending by the STATE (though Amendment 1 repudiated the Holford Bonds in the 1880's). Although the 1874 Constitution DID try to ban deficit spending by cities and counties, even that was ineffective until Amendment 10 in 1924 expressly banned local deficits. State deficit spending IS banned by law, however, though it was ignored until the first Revenue Stabilization Law was passed in 1945; those laws have effectively ended deficit spending by cutting cash flow to state agencies during budgetary shortfalls. --70.232.40.250 05:32, January 27, 2006 (UTC)

I have added a lot of stuff to this article. I used large portion of a research paper I did on the war for one of my college courses. You can read that paper here. --The_stuart 23:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
