Six advertising labels for "Lost Cause" and Pearline bring together Confederate figures Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, John H. Morgan, and Joseph E. Johnston, a lineup that shows how the Lost Cause memory of the war had reached everyday commerce. Pearline was a widely sold laundry soap in the late nineteenth century, and manufacturers of that era often used familiar faces and patriotic imagery to make household goods seem trustworthy. Labels like these show how the postwar memory of the Confederacy was packaged for ordinary buyers, not only in monuments and textbooks but on the grocery shelf. The portraits are worth a close look, since they turn wartime leaders into brand names.
