THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 3, 1862

• Battle of Richmond, Kentucky
• Horace Greeley & Abraham Lincoln

This anti-war newspaper insisted slavery should not be abolished, so consequently much content has an anti-North bias.
Articles include: "The Indian Massacres in Minnesota" "The Case of General Stone" "Mr. Lincoln's Scheme of Emancipation & Colonization" "War News of the Week" "Battle of Chattanooga" "Terrible Battle Near Richmond, Kentucky" "Severe Battle In Kentucky" "Horace Greeley Writes Another Letter to President Lincoln" which takes most of a column. So much more on the Civil War.
Eight pages, slight hint of some damp stains, 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.
