October 15, 1862
THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 15, 1862 This anti-war newspaper insisted slavery should not be abolished, so consequently much content has an anti-North bias.
Among the various reports are: "Tests of Loyalty" "A Boston Negro's Opinion of the Proclamation" "Kirby Smith Captures a Train..." "McClellan on the President's Proclamation" "The New York Tablet, A Catholic Paper, on the [Emancipation] Proclamation" "Negro Raids" "War News of the Week" "General Buell's Official Report" from Perryville; "Cumberland Gap Expedition" and so much more.
Perhaps most interesting is a page 7 article: "How Many Times a Man Can Stand It To Be Shot and Still Live" which recounts the misfortunes of a solder shot 5 times, several bullets remaining within him.
Eight pages, very nice condition.Perhaps most interesting is a page 7 article: "How Many Times a Man Can Stand It To Be Shot and Still Live" which recounts the misfortunes of a solder shot 5 times, several bullets remaining within him.
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.
