On trying Robert E. Lee and others as traitors...
Item # 666548
June 21, 1865
THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, June 21, 1865 From just after the end of the Civil War but still with some nice war-related reports including: "Missouri - The Cry for Blood--Incendiary Military Order" "The Alleged Indictment of General Lee" "Plantation Labor--The Negroes Idling--Crops Suffering" "The Colored Gentlemen on the Rampage...Mutiny Among Negro Troops at Fortress Monroe..." "Proclamation--Reorganization of Mississippi" is signed by President Johnson; "Jefferson Davis" "About Trying General Lee and Others s Traitors" and much more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, various foxing, generally good.
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.
