August 27, 1862
THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, May 18, 1864
* Rare pro Confederate title from Ohio
* Battle of Spotsylvania Court House
Among the articles within: "General Lee's Bill of Fare" "The Starvation Theory Exploded" "Protest of the Negro Missionaries!" "Opening of the Dreadful Eight Days' Battle" "More Trouble with the Freed Negroes--The 'Elephant' Caught" "Great Battles of the Past Week" "Plan of Lee's Campaign" "Condition of Lee's Army Before the Battle" "President Lincoln In A Quandary" "Our Loss of 40,000 in Virginia" and so much more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, very 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.
