A rebel paper from the North...
Item # 666545
September 07, 1864
THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 7, 1864 Among the articles within: "Why Was the War Begun? Why Is It Continued?" "Buying Negroes" "A Soldier Executed" "Blockade Running: "Branding White Men at Morristown" and much more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, minimal fold wear, 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 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.
