THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, March 23, 1864
* Abraham Lincoln call for troops
* Pro Confederate title
Among the items in this issue are: "An Attempt to Mob the Union Office" "Additional From Florida" "Introducing Negroes to Compete with White Labor" "Negro & White Prisoners Put in the Same Cells" "Proclamation by the President--200,000 More Men Called For..." is signed in type: Abraham Lincoln; "Soldier Shot" & much more.
Eight pages, never bound or trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, some toning, very nice condition.
This interesting title was described as "The Hottest Rebel Sheet to be found in the North or the South". It 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.
