File:Arms of ye Confederacie 1862 (satirical).jpg

A mock coat-of-arms for the Confederacy (CSA) from a satirical northern point of view, with the two heraldic "supporters" for the shield being a spur-booted plantation owner or supervisor and a chained slave. The motto is Servitudo esto perpetua (Latin for "may slavery be perpetual!").

• Title: Arms of y^e Confederacie
• Date Created/Published: [U.S.] : G.H. Heap Inv., 1862.
• Medium: 1 print : engraving on off-white card stock ; 9.6 x 11.8 cm. (image)
• Summary: A small card bearing a vitriolic indictment of the Confederacy. The artist particularly attacks the the institution of slavery, the foundation of Southern economy. A large shield is flanked by two figures: a planter (left) and a slave. The planter wears spurs and a broad-brimmed hat and smokes a cigar. The slave is clad only in breeches, and his hands are manacled. Above the shield are two crossed flags, the Confederate flag and one bearing a skull and crossbones and the number 290. Between the flags are a rooster and a streamer with the motto "Servitudo Esto Perpetua." On the shield are images associated with the South: a mint julep, a bottle of "Old Rye," a pistol and dagger, a whip and manacles, cotton, tobacco, and sugar plants, and slaves hoeing. In the background left, dominated by the palmetto tree of South Carolina, three planters, one holding a whip, play cards at a table. Beyond, two men duel with pistols. On the right, a female slave is auctioned as two slave children stand by and a black woman watches from a cabin doorway.
