THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 18, 1863 Among the various articles are: "From North-West Missouri" "Important Explanation from a Soldier in the Missouri State Militia"; a very lengthy: "Speech of Dr. Edson B.

Eight pages, some water staining is mostly at the margins, 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 insisted that slavery could not be prohibited by law. So obnoxious was this paper to Unionists that it was denied circulation in some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a hateful mob.
