A racist newspaper on the trial of the Lincoln conspirators...
Item # 716324
June 10, 1865
NEW YORK WEEKLY DAY-BOOK CAUCASIAN, June 10, 1865 A decidedly racist newspaper which began well before the Civil War & lasted a few years after. As such, their reporting on war events provide a contrasting perspective beyond most other Northern newspapers.
Among the reports: "The Assassination Trial" "The Military Court in Washington" "Continuation of the Proceedings" "Executions For Treason" "General Sherman's Report" takes most of the page & has incredible detail; "The Restoration of the Nation, Or National Suicide" "Shall the Working Classes Be Equalized With Negroes?"
Eight pages, very nice condition.
