A racist newspaper on the trial of the Lincoln conspirators...



Item # 680189

June 10, 1865

NEW YORK WEEKLY DAY-BOOK CAUCASIAN, June 10, 1865 
\
* Lincoln assassins trial
* Rare pro-white title
* Reconstruction era


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.
