Few Civil War keepsakes combine patriotic imagery and political purpose quite like a Confederate certificate decorated with portraits of the Southern leaders. Documents of this kind were printed to rally support for the Confederacy during the war, and their engraved portraits of figures such as Jefferson Davis were meant to put the young government's faces before the public. Certificates like this one were often bought, displayed, or carried as expressions of loyalty to the cause. Today they serve as useful reminders of how the Confederacy presented itself to its own people, and of the propaganda that accompanied the struggle at Gettysburg and beyond.
