NEW YORK WEEKLY DAY-BOOK CAUCASIAN, Nov. 11, 1865
* 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 events of the day provide a contrasting perspective beyond most other Northern newspapers.
Among the articles: "Reminiscences of Gen. 'Stonewall' Jackson" being installment #5. Also: "The Effects of Abolitionism" "The Libby Prison" and more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
AI notes: The New York Weekly Day-Book Caucasian was a white supremacist, pro-slavery newspaper published in New York from the mid-19th century through 1879 under various names. Originally launched as the Weekly Day Book in 1848, it was renamed the New-York Weekly Caucasian in 1861 and later the New York Weekly Day-Book Caucasian from 1863 to 1868. Edited by figures like Rushmore G. Horton and John H. Van Evrie, it promoted racist ideology, opposed abolition, and featured virulent attacks on Lincoln, Reconstruction, and Black Americans. The paper's masthead declared “White Men Must Rule America,” and it served as a platform for Northern anti-abolitionist sentiment during and after the Civil War. Though it had limited national influence, it remains a significant example of openly racist media in 19th-century America.
