Summary
The 1st National Seal of the Confederacy was intended as a reference to the founding principles of a Constitutional Republic. The original inscription, "Pro Licentia of Vir quod Justicia ut Totus", was originally believed to mean, "For Liberty of Man and Justice to All". This was not the case and instead the logo and inscriptions were print errors. It was believed that the individuals originally hired to interpret a Latin inscription had incorrectly translated it.
Two years after formalizing the seal and following a Grand Congress investigation, it was realized the inscription actually translated to English from Latin as, "For the License of Man and Justice as a Whole". A panel was quickly formalized and the 1st National Seal of the Confederacy was quietly swept under the rug.
