THE WORLD, New York, Feb. 11, 1865
* Hampton Roads Peace Conference
Formatted very much like its competitors, the Times, Tribune & Herald.
Among the front page first column heads on the Civil War: "The Conference" "President Lincoln's Report of the Meeting in Hampton Roads" "How Jeff. Davis Came to Send Commissioners North" "A Queer Way of Negotiating" "Terms of Settlement Proscribed in Advance by A. Lincoln" "The Abolition of Slavery a Sine Qua Non for Reunion" "The Negro Conscription Bill Killed in the Rebel Senate" and even more on the results of peace talks with the South.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
Note: The Hampton Roads Peace Conference was a pivotal but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to negotiate an end to the American Civil War. Held on February 3, 1865, aboard the steamboat River Queen in Hampton Roads, Virginia, the meeting brought together President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward representing the Union, and Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens, Senator Robert M.T. Hunter, and Assistant Secretary of War John A. Campbell representing the Confederacy.
The conference did result in a mutual agreement to resume prisoner-of-war exchanges, but no further progress was made toward peace. The war continued for a few more months, culminating in the surrender of Confederate forces and the end of the Civil War.
