THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 14, 1861  This was an anti-war newspaper that insisted that slavery should not be abolished, so much of its content has an anti-North bias.
This issue has much on: "The Fremont Affair" including a lengthy front page editorial and an entire page 2 report: "Report In General Fremont's Case".
On August 30, 1861, General John Frémont declared martial law in Missouri, & also ordered the emancipation of slaves in the state.  He did so without the approval of President Lincoln, was reprimanded & replaced by General Hunter. Page 5 contains:  "Gen. Fremont's Farewell to the Army".
Among the column heads are: "Distressing News From Hatteras Inlet" "Imprisoned for Speaking Disrespectfully of President Lincoln's Administration" "Beaufort Taken by the Federals" "Fight In Kansas--Rebels Twice Routed--Secessionists in Kansas" "Gyandot, Va., Attacked by Rebels..." and much more.
Eight pages, water staining & some fading at the margins.

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 was denied circulation in some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a hateful mob.
