North Carolina has rejoined the Union?



Item # 702210

November 28, 1861

THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 28, 1861  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: "North Carolina Has Come Back Into the Union" "Hanging Prisoners of War" "The Lowest Type of Humanity" "Davis's Message to the Confederate Congress" "The Bitterness of the Abolitionists Against the Administration" & much more.
Eight pages, damp 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.
