NEW YORK HERALD, New York, NY, June 27, 1865 * Post civil war events * Reconstruction of the South * President Andrew Johnson Front page has the headlines: * VIRGINIA * The Right to Vote Extended to the Virginia Rebels * The Status of the Negro Established * THE HEALTH OF JEFF. DAVIS * Georgia * The New Governor--Reopening of the Railroads * WASHINGTON * The Reconstruction of South Carolina * FREEDOM OF TRADE and "Proclamation By President Johnson" signed in type: Andrew Johnson. Other news of the day throughout. 8 pages in nice condition. wikipedia notes: In the history of the United States, "Reconstruction" refers to the period during and after the Civil War, between 1863 and 1877, when the U.S. focused on abolishing slavery, destroying all traces of the Confederacy, and "reconstructing" both the South, and (with three new amendments) the U.S. Constitution itself. "Reconstruction" is also the common name for the general history of the post-Civil War era in the U.S. between 1865 and 1877. Discussions of reconstruction within the national government began earlier: as soon as the war began in 1861, Lincoln and his people talked about how to end the war. Under Abraham Lincoln, presidential reconstruction began in each state as soon as federal troops controlled most of the state. The usual ending date is 1877, when the Compromise of 1877 saw the collapse of the last Republican state governments in the South, although some historians stretch the era to the 1890s.[1] Reconstruction addressed how secessionist Southern states would regain self-government and seats in Congress, the civil status of the leaders of the Confederacy, and the Constitutional and legal status of Freedmen (the freed slaves). After the Civil War, violent controversy erupted throughout the South over how to tackle such issues, as former Confederates organized in paramilitary groups to resist defeat, including secret vigilante groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. The Constitutional Amendments and legislative reforms that laid the foundation for the most radical phase of Reconstruction were enacted from 1865 until 1871. By the 1870s, Reconstruction had made some progress in providing the Freedmen with equal rights under the law, and Freedmen were voting and taking political office. Republican legislatures, coalitions of whites and blacks, established the first public school systems in the South. Beginning in 1874, however, there was a rise in white paramilitary organizations, such as the White League and Red Shirts, whose political aim was to drive out the Republicans. They also disrupted organizing and terrorized blacks to bar them from the polls.[2] From 1873 to 1877, conservative white Democrats (calling themselves "Redeemers") regained power in state elections throughout the former Confederacy. Several states retained for many years constitutions which had been rewritten during Reconstruction. Others used separate legislation to overturn some Reconstruction measures. In 1877, President Rutherford Hayes withdrew federal troops, causing the collapse of the last three remaining Republican state governments. Starting in 1890, 13 years after Reconstruction ended, southern states used disfranchising statutes and constitutions to put in place devices, such as poll taxes, literacy tests and the use of whites-only primaries, and through extralegal means, which prevented most blacks from voting.[3][4] By 1900 Southern white Democrats established a one-party rule and enforced a system of racial segregation that continued in varying degrees throughout the South into the 1960s. Bitterness from the heated partisanship of the era lasted well into the 20th century. But in other ways, whites in the North and South undertook reconciliation, which reached a height in the early 20th century.[5] This reconciliation coincided with the nadir of American race relations. During this period there were increased lynchings and violence, especially in the South; an increase in racial segregation throughout America, and disfranchisement of most African-Americans in the South. Laws were different in each state, but most embodied the same kinds of restrictions for blacks . Commonly, codes compelled freedmen to work. In many states, if unemployed, blacks faced the potential of being arrested and charged with vagrancy. Many of those that did work had their day regulated. Codes dictated their hours of labor, duties, and often assigned to them as agricultural workers. Passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were constitutional legacies of Reconstruction. These amendments established the rights on which blacks and reasonable whites later based extensive litigation, leading to US Supreme Court rulings starting in the early 20th century that struck down disfranchising provisions. In addition, the Civil Rights Movement contributed to passage of legislation in the mid-1960s to protect civil and voting rights, and to additional constitutional amendments to protect and expand the franchise.

NEW YORK HERALD, New York, NY, October 13, 1865 * Post civil war Kentucky The front page has: "Washington" "Martial Law No Longer in Force in Kentucky" "The President's Proclamation" "The Status Of Kentucky". Proclamation concerning martial law in Kentucky is signed in type: Andrew Johnson. Other news of the day throughout this 8 page issue. Minor spine wear, otherwise in nice condition. wikipedia notes: Although Kentucky was a slave state, it was not subject to military occupation during the Reconstruction Period. It was subject to the Freedmen's Bureau and a congressional investigation into the propriety of its elected officials. During the election of 1865, ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment was a major political issue. Kentucky eventually rejected the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. Democrats prevailed in the election, and one of their first acts was to repeal the Expatriation Act of 1862, thus restoring the citizenship of Confederates. After the war, the Ku Klux Klan was quite active in Kentucky. Between 1867 and 1881, the Frankfort Weekly Commonwealth newspaper reported 115 incidents of shooting, lynching, and whipping of blacks. Reconstruction also saw the establishment of movements favoring equal citizenship for blacks and women's suffrage. Laura Clay, daughter of noted abolitionist Cassius Clay, was an active leader in the suffrage movement. Kentucky's hemp industry declined as manila became the world's primary source of rope fiber. This led to an increase in tobacco production, which was already the largest cash crop of Kentucky.

NEW YORK HERALD, NY, October 31, 1865  * Brooklyn Atlantics  * Philadelphia Athletics  * Famous post civil war Baseball game  On the back page under "The National Game" is a report: "The Great Match Between the Atlantics And Athletics In Philadelphia--The Atlantics The Victors." Has a summary of the game which mentions that: "...The Atlantics were skunked once, and the Athletics four time...". "Skunked" was the term used when a team failed to score any runs in an inning. Also had the box score. Other news of the day throughout. Little spine wear, otherwise in nice condition. wikipedia notes: The Atlantic Base Ball Club of Brooklyn ("Atlantic" or the "Brooklyn Atlantics") was baseball's first champion and its first dynasty. Established in 1855, Atlantic was a founding member of the National Association of Base Ball Players in 1857. In 1859, with a record of 11 wins and 1 loss, Atlantic emerged as the recognized champions of baseball. Atlantic held the championship through the 1861 season, albeit in controversial fashion. In a third and deciding game with Excelsior of Brooklyn, Excelsior was leading 8-6 and had men on base, but was forced to withdraw by a rowdy crowd of Atlantic partisans and gamblers. The game was declared a draw, and the championship retained by Atlantic. Atlantic held the championship again through the 1861 season, which was shortened due to the American Civil War, before finally surrendering it to archrival Eckford of Brooklyn in 1862. Atlantic recaptured the pennant in 1864 with a season record of twenty wins, no defeats, and a single tie as the only blemish on its record. Atlantic went undefeated again in 1865 with an 18-0 record, sweeping series against chief rivals Mutual of New York and Athletic of Philadelphia. Great players of this era included Joe Start, Dickey Pearce, Charlie Smith, and Tom Pratt. Atlantic's 36 game winning streak was finally broken in June, 1866 by Irvington, NJ. Atlantic held the pennant, though, by splitting a two game series with Athletic of Philadelphia and because it failed to schedule a series with contender Union of Morrisania. Atlantic did surrender the title to Union in 1867. When Atlantic defeated Eckford to regain the pennant in 1869, Atlantic had already lost to the Cincinnati Red Stockings. This allowed Atlantic to claim the championship over the undefeated Cincinnati club under the "challenge" format of the National Association of Base Ball Players, which resembled modern boxing championship rules rather than a league or tournament format. This outcome undoubtedly contributed to the tremendous anticipation when Cincinnati came to Brooklyn with an 89 game winning streak to meet the Atlantics on June 14, 1870 at Atlantic's home Capitoline Grounds. An estimated crowd of fifteen thousand paid 50 cents a piece to see Atlantic win 8-7 in extra innings in one of the most significant games in baseball history. Atlantic surrendered the title later in the year, though, to Mutual.

The house, at the entrance to the ground, the windows of which overlook the lower end of the field, was filled with ladies, who watched the proceedings with great interest.” Has details about the game and the box score. This leaf has an archival mend to a tear in unrelated content.  A nice 19th century baseball account.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York City, New York, September 24, 1865 On the bkpg. under “The National Game” is: “The Silver Ball Contests At Kingston--Mutual Vs. Actives Of New-York, And Knickerbockers, Of Albany Vs. Resolutes, Of Brooklyn.” Has a nice summary of two matches played at the Agricultural Fair, in Kingston, Ulster County, N.Y. The winners of each game were presented silver balls by the managers of the fairs. In the first match, the Knickerbocker club of Albany defeated the Resolutes of Brooklyn, 13-12, and in the second match, the Mutuals defeated the Actives, 26-20. In the last paragraph, the summary commends the organizers for their “public spirit” in offering the “...valuable prizes to the base ball fraternity...”, but also chastises them for allowing the crowd “...to interfere with the players. Horses were driven around and across the ball fields with...impunity, interfering with and delaying the game...”  Includes the box score of each game. A bit of lite foxing at the top of this report.  A nice 19th century baseball account.
