For some reason I stumbled across a story about how a court ruled in 1924 that Confederate bonds valued at $120 million (held by Brits) were deemed worthless. Wonder why it took so long (1924) but no matter.

Question: Is there a record of the largest Confederate bond holders? How many Nations invested in CSA Bonds? Any good articles/books on this?

Interesting. They clearly hitched their wagons to the wrong horse.

Richard Todd's Confederate Finance is older than me but still the gold standard (pardon the pun) on the subject. The British were certainly the biggest investors and many textile firms and cotton purchasers were among the biggest investors and some lost their company as a result of the investment. They were attractive because they could be re-paid in cotton at one fourth the value of cotton. The Dutch and French were probably the next biggest investors but not to the extent of the UK.

Great. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Somewhere I have an excellent article on how Texas used some unique land-backed bond programs that devalued less than Confederate financial instruments. If you're interested, I can try to dig it up.
