Item # 695245

December 31, 1847

THE CHARLESTON COURIER, South Carolina, Dec. 31, 1847  In 14 years this city would be the hotbed for secession from the Union, not surprising given it was the largest American point of disembarkation for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Page 3 has two reward ads for runaway slaves, particulars are shown in the photos.
Four pages, archival strengthening across the central fold on pages 2 & 3, binding slits at the blank spine, some wear at the margins, scattered foxing.
