EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment in American history as President Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States signs an Act of Government by the roadside in the waning days of the Civil War, in December 1865. With Richmond, the Confederate capital, having been abandoned and the Confederate army in disarray, Davis and his government were forced to flee southward. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of their retreat, Davis continued to fulfill his duties as president, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to the Confederate cause. The scene depicted in this image is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought for the Confederacy during the final months of the war. The 21st Act, also known as the "Last Confederate Act," was an attempt to reorganize the Confederate government and military, though ultimately it was too late to turn the tide of the war. This historical image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a glimpse into the final days of the Confederate States of America and the desperate efforts of its leaders to preserve their cause.
