THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, June 27, 1861  This was an anti-war newspaper that insisted slavery should not be abolished, so consequently, much content has an anti-North bias.
Articles within include: "The Rebellion & the Abolition of Slavery", a lengthy: "Letter from Kentucky to Abraham Lincoln..." "From the Cherokee Nation" "The Reign of Terror" is critical of Lincoln; and more.
Eight pages, 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.
