During the Civil War patriotic feeling ran high in the North, and many citizens showed their feelings by using envelopes printed with pictures and slogans expressing support for the Union cause.
These envelopes, were, in a sense, the bumper stickers of the Civil War era.
The patriotic envelopes shown here are now in the collection of the Library of Congress.
