THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, May 16, 1861 This was an anti-war newspaper that insisted slavery should not be abolished, so consequently much content has an anti-North bias.The front page includes: "More Bloodshed in St. Louis "Capture of Camp Jackson ! " "Surrender of General Frost--800 Prisoners Taken--Twenty Citizens Killed--Terms of the Surrender" "Proclamation of General Harney". Inside pages include: "Slave Insurrection" "Another Paragraph for White Men to Read" "Rough Notes From A Knapsack" and so much more.Eight pages, 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 was denied circulation in some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a hateful mob.
