December 24, 1862

THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 24, 1862 Articles within include: "Barbarities in Missouri" "Latest From the Seat of War!..." "Falsehood & Forgery--Violence, Crime, Murder and Military Despotism in Missouri" "Missouri Militia & Kansas Jayhawkers--Trouble on the Border" and more.
Eight pages, loss to the bottom right corner affects some text on most pages, otherwise nice condition.

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.
