THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 4, 1865  Articles include: "Slanders Upon the Dead" "Treatment of Prisoners" "The Camp Chase Matter" "Treatment of the Rebel Prisoners at Camp Douglas" "The Abolition Insult to the Soldiers" "Negro Troops--How they got Their Reputation" "The Wirz Trial" & much more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, some minor spine wear, stain to an upper corner.
Described as "The Hottest Rebel Sheet to be found in the North or the South", this newspaper opposed the war and attracted the hatred of the Republicans and the Lincoln administration. It insisted that slavery could not be prohibited by law. So obnoxious was this paper to Unionists that it was denied circulation in some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a hateful mob.
