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.
* General John C. Fremont
* Emancipation military proclamation

The front page has a nearly full column editorial headed: "Gen. Fremont & his Proclamation". As a bit of background, in late August 1861. Fremont placed all of Missouri under martial law believing that slavery aided the guerrillas and that a direct strike at that institution would crush them. He issued his own "emancipation proclamation", declaring Missouri's slaves free, without informing President Lincoln. This act, of course, far exceeded the authority of his position.
When he found out what Fremont had done, Lincoln asked him to modify his proclamation to conform to official policy.
Other content includes: "Gen. Anderson's Proclamation" "Who Are Secessionists?" & much more.
Eight pages, light water staining throughout, otherwise in good 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.
