This was an anti-war newspaper that insisted slavery should not be abolished, so consequently much content has an anti-North bias.
Among the articles are: "The Slaves as a Military Element in the South" "The Battle at Springfield, Mo." "Southern Intelligence--The Rebel Army of the Potomac" and much more. Over 2 columns are concerning the controversy between Abraham Lincoln and General Fremont, including a letter from Fremont and his wife and a letter signed: A. Lincoln.
Eight pages, light water staining throughout, good condition.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 was denied circulation in some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a hateful mob.
